    I agree with goodcook in VA, in that these taste good...but they are not Madeleines. I am in Europe on a regular basis, and spend a lot of the time in Paris. Madeleines, as Marcel Proust would attest were one of those things that made Paris what it is....and I agree 100%. Madeleines are much denser and richer. As goodcook says, these are more like Madeleine shaped cupcakes than the real deal. If you want a real Madeleine recipe, you're going to have to keep looking. These are more like Paris, Illinois than Paris, France.

    I love these. For some reason, I avoided making Madeleines before I saw Melissa's show. I've made them three times now and they're great.

    I ended up with 18 madeleines when I made these today, using 1 TB batter per cookie. They baked about 8 minutes to get golden brown. The taste is good, but the texture is more like fluffy cake than a rich madeleine. Admittedly, I've never tasted them in Paris, but the ones I prefer are more like buttery pound cake with crisp edges, and these are quite airy and cupcakey. I compared this recipe to the one I prefer, and mine uses twice as much sugar and a full cup of flour, and switches lemon for the orange zest -- the rest is the same. I couldn't detect much taste from the browned butter. BTW, I LOVE Melissa's show and recipes! She makes everything seem simple and really do-able for American cooks, and introduces some sophisticated flavors in an easy way.

    Mine came out a little dark at 400 degrees x 9 mins, probably because my ovens run a little on the hot side. Other than that they were fantastic! I added a half tsp each vanilla, almond extract and orange flower water. So easy to make!

    absolutely DIVINE! This recipe is to die for! My husband has been to Paris France and knew what a real Madeleine should taste like and he said this nailed it! I have to say the brown butter with the orange zest really makes this cookie. I am SO glad I went out and bought the pan and didn't use my mini muffin pan, because it really made me feel like I accomplished not only a great tasting cookie BUT a pretty one too!
    Thank you Melissa for sharing such a wonderful recipe!! This will now become a staple cookie that I will really enjoy baking =

    I have had a Madeline pan for several years, but the only time I tried to make them they were a total flop. Today, I followed Melissa's directions exactly and they were WONDERFUL! Thanks Melissa. I am going to make these for a baby shower in September. As always, you have made me look like a pro. THANKS!!!!
