Notes
Madeleine pans are special pans shaped like a shell. They can be purchased from specialty food stores, department stores or online. If you don’t have one a round bottom patty pan will work just fine.
Don’t be tempted to fill the Madeleine more than 3/4 full. This will insure that you will get the classic shape.
