Citrus Madeleines
19 people added this to their Recipe Box
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.
