I was given Madeleine pans for my last birthdayand now that I have a tried recipe.. I’m anxious to make it a go. Thanks you so much.. Didn’t know it was the Baking powder that made things taste that way… must do some research.. xo marlis
What a great recipe these Madeleines are just beautiful! Have a great St. Patrick’s Day and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday!
Come Back Soon,

Oh Chris, I thought you would be too busy to read my blog. I thought you would be rocking a baby. As for the name, I did not name them, Cookbook Author,Lori Longbotham did, but I have to say I agree with her. They are very light like a génoise.
I haven’t ever made a Madeline but I want to… I just have to break down and buy a pan 🙂 Thanks so much for coming to (link) party with me… I hope you’ll come again next week to Super Saturday Show & Tell! http://www.whatscookingwithruthie.com xoxo~ Ruthie
1/4 cup. I am so sorry. I have proof-read the recipe several times and still missed it. I hope I did not cause a big problem. I have corrected the recipe.
I use my madeleine pan almost every week. Love it! And I originally wondered IF I would ever use it!!! I’ll have to try your madeleine recipe. I enjoy a good madeleine with tea!
Great recipe! I just made them last night. I love it’s baking powder-free.
Just curious, though – your recipe doesn’t call for vanilla extract. Really?
I’ve always added vanilla so I added some to our batch and because my family prefers more buttery taste, I cut the lemon zest to about 1/4 the amount. They turned out beautifully.
I went back and checked the recipe and there is no vanilla mentioned. I think it is because she is counting lemon as “the vanilla”. I think you could add any flavoring you want. I also think a little vanilla makes everything better.
I am so glad you made them, and I am even happier that you took the time to come back and let me know you thought they were as good as I did.
You can make your own cake flour by removing 2 tablespoon of flour from a cup of flour then 2 tablespoon of corn starch – then sift it really well. I have only used silicone for cupcakes and I was not happy with the results, but maybe you will have better luck.

I’m definitely pinning these to make very soon. I adore lemon anything. I’m also going to make your cured lemons. Thank you!
Ms. Lemon says
Ann, I hope you will try them. I am still thinking about your orange glazed bread. That was the most beautiful presentation.
The Café Sucré Farine says
I have to confess I’ve never made Madeleines but with a moniker like “World’s Best” I might just have to get a pan and try these! 🙂

Claudia says
Hi,
What is the amount of sugar that I should beat with the eggs?
Thanks
Ms. Lemon says
1/4 cup. I am so sorry. I have proof-read the recipe several times and still missed it. I hope I did not cause a big problem. I have corrected the recipe.
Claudia says
Thanks!
Claudia says
I liked your recipe so much that I re-blogged it at my-sweet-addiction.com
Ms. Lemon says
So happy you enjoyed them. I did not name them, but I do believe they are the best I have ever tasted.
Sarah says
Love anything lemon and Madelines are a favorite so this is a win-win for me. ‘-)
Thanks for the recipe. ~ Sarah

Congrats!

Karen says
must I use cake flour? I’m an ‘all purpose’ baker tho not a professional….
Karen says
one more question: I have silicone madeline pan – have you tried this type of pan? or what is your opinion on using them for this recipe? Thanks!
Ms. Lemon says
You can make your own cake flour by removing 2 tablespoon of flour from a cup of flour then 2 tablespoon of corn starch – then sift it really well. I have only used silicone for cupcakes and I was not happy with the results, but maybe you will have better luck.
Karen says
Thanks very much. I’ll use the silicon pan for first try since I have it.
Ms. Lemon says
I hope it works for you. I feel confident about the recipe so let me know if the silicone produces a delicious madeleine. Good luck.
Julie b says
Hi! I was wondering how many Madeleines this recipe makes. Thanks!!!
Ms. Lemon says
Hi Julie, This madeleine recipe makes a dozen madeleines. I hope you enjoy them. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Renee says
These really ARE the world’s best madeleines! Also, Luscious Lemon Desserts is a wonderful book, and I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from it.
