Madeleines

Madeleines are small shell-shaped sponge cakes originated from Commercy of northeastern France. I received two pretty good quality madeleine baking pans from the States last Wednesday and it was just in time since I have friend visiting me on Thursday. I made about two dozens of traditional madeleines, and my friend and I together with our kids had them for tea on Thursday afternoon. These little cakes are pretty easy to make and my sons love snacking on them, so I am definitely going to be making more madeleines soon.
