Madeleines are small, elegant shell-shaped sponge cakes made with a simple batter of eggs, sugar, butter, and flour, often flavored with lemon zest, vanilla, or orange blossom water. Originating from Commercy in the Lorraine region, Madeleines have become iconic in French culture, especially for their association with afternoon tea and Proustian nostalgia. Their delicate hump, soft interior, and crisp golden edges make them a favorite in pâtisseries, cafés, and home kitchens alike.
