Madeleines
Recipe video above. Madeleines are sweet little French sponge cakes that are as delightful to look at as they are to eat. A recipe taught to me by our resident French Chef JB, these adorable mini butter cakes with their signature shell shape are flavoured with a hint of lemon and make for a lovely afternoon tea, or a pretty finish for any meal. Best served hot and fresh out of the oven. Keep the batter in a piping bag (even overnight - or freezer for weeks!), then 10 minutes in the oven is all it takes!
