Why You’ll Love This

A madeleine is a small indulgence that never needs an occasion. Its pretty scalloped shape and tender crumb make even a quick coffee break feel a little more French.

What Makes It Special

These shell-shaped cakes belong to a beloved French baking tradition: small, softly textured sponge cakes designed to be enjoyed in a few bites.

Perfect Pairings

Espresso, café au lait, Earl Grey tea, lemon curd, strawberries and lightly whipped cream.

Serving Ideas

Arrange on a tiered tea tray, serve with a bowl of seasonal berries or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a simple dessert. A dusting of confectioners’ sugar makes a lovely finishing touch.
