Gourmet Madeleine Cookies Recipe #199205
Delicious and soft French cookies. The recipe is from Bon Appetit Magazine (January 2000). "This cookie launched a thousand memories — and a literary masterpiece — for Marcel Proust. The group enjoys madeleines with tea, just as the narrator did in Swann’s Way."
Uses a special madeleine pan (a metal mold with scallop-shaped indentations, sold at cookware stores).
