These buttery little sponge cakes are feather-light and eaten as a cookie. Instead of the glaze, you can dip them halfway into melted bittersweet chocolate or dust them with icing sugar. You will need a special madeleine pan, available at most kitchen supply stores.

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 2 tsp grated lime rind
