Drawing
inspiration from our visit to Paris where we saw some beautiful
patisserie and cakes, including the most amazing looking freshly baked
madeleines, I tried a new variation to my classic recipe. Because let's
face it, chocolate chips make everything just a little better.
Madeleines are a fairly easy bake with simple ingredients. All you need
is a scallop shell pan and you're ready to go.

Preparing the batter:

Baking the madeleines:
- While the batter is refrigerating, butter and flour your madeleine pan.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Fill each well in the pan with one tablespoon of batter.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown and a little puffed up in the middle.
- Allow the madeleines to cool on a wire rack.

This
recipe will give you 18-20 madeleines depending on the pan you use.
Personally I like them best when they're still a bit warm with some milk
or a cup of tea. But you can save them for a day or two in an airtight
box. Happy baking & be sure to let me know if you give them a try!
