    I have to confess I’ve never made Madeleines but with a moniker like “World’s Best” I might just have to get a pan and try these! 🙂

      Oh Chris, I thought you would be too busy to read my blog. I thought you would be rocking a baby. As for the name, I did not name them, Cookbook Author,Lori Longbotham did, but I have to say I agree with her. They are very light like a génoise.

      1/4 cup. I am so sorry. I have proof-read the recipe several times and still missed it. I hope I did not cause a big problem. I have corrected the recipe.

    Great recipe! I just made them last night. I love it’s baking powder-free.
    Just curious, though – your recipe doesn’t call for vanilla extract. Really?
    I’ve always added vanilla so I added some to our batch and because my family prefers more buttery taste, I cut the lemon zest to about 1/4 the amount. They turned out beautifully.

    Thanks for sharing this recipe!

      I went back and checked the recipe and there is no vanilla mentioned. I think it is because she is counting lemon as “the vanilla”. I think you could add any flavoring you want. I also think a little vanilla makes everything better.

      I am so glad you made them, and I am even happier that you took the time to come back and let me know you thought they were as good as I did.

      Merry Christmas.

    one more question: I have silicone madeline pan – have you tried this type of pan? or what is your opinion on using them for this recipe? Thanks!

      You can make your own cake flour by removing 2 tablespoon of flour from a cup of flour then 2 tablespoon of corn starch – then sift it really well. I have only used silicone for cupcakes and I was not happy with the results, but maybe you will have better luck.

          I hope it works for you. I feel confident about the recipe so let me know if the silicone produces a delicious madeleine. Good luck.

    These really ARE the world’s best madeleines! Also, Luscious Lemon Desserts is a wonderful book, and I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from it.
