French madeleines (Magdalenas)







French madeleines, the delicious shell-like tea cakes, are always a lovely dessert that also are really easy to make.
They often flavored with vanilla or citrus such as lemon or orange . 
Vanilla is added for a touch of warmth and the butter gives the madeleines a rich flavor.

  8. Yum, so good!
    If you want to make the nice bump of the madeleines, think to prepare your dough at least 2 hours in advance and refrigerate it; it is the thermal shock who make perfect bump .
    Bake in a hot oven at 220 ° C and immediately lower to 160 ° C.
