    What a great, easy-to-follow recipe! They took longer to make than they did to disappear off the platter, in fact, I'm pretty sure that these lemon-scented jewels disappered almost as quickly as they came out of the oven. I did manage to get a few into the freezer, but they were out of the freezer and on the counter this afternoon. (They do freeze very well.) No need to change this recipe at all, they are perfect. Make sure to grease the molds very well and remove the madelines from the pan immediately upon taking them out of the oven, they do tend to stick a bit otherwise. Thanks for sharing!

    I made them today. My first recipe to try.Very easy to make. Light and sponge and not too sweet. Excellent with afternoon tea or coffee.They didn't make the way to the freezer.
