I feel like I have ignored my madeleines pan lately...I haven't touched it since early spring when I made Gluten Free Kumquat Madeleines. In Europe, they would call these cookies madeleines au Citron. I just say they are yummy and have a distinct citrus flavor.

It isn't the pan's fault, it is mine. My madeleines pan ended up so far back in the cabinet, I completely forgot about it. Maybe this is common for food bloggers because we collect so many fun kitchen gadgets and toys :-).

Madeleines are a French sponge cake that is often thought of as a cookie because of its size. The flavor is light and slightly sweet. These are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

For this craving, I used butterscotch chips. These are definitely not traditional for madeleines cookies...but a craving is a craving :-).

Instructions:

After whisking the dry ingredients to blend, add the wet ingredients and the butterscotch chips. Mix well.

Your dough will be fluffy and thick.

Add a little dough to each Madeleine cake section. Don't worry that it is blobby...it melts down easily to form the classic Madeleine shape.

How long do you bake Madeleines?

Bake your Madeleines for 8-10 minutes in the oven at 350º F until done. Allow them to cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter.
  4. These cookies will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

    I've never made madeleines, but need to change that. These looks beautiful and I can imagine how good they'd taste with a cup of tea!
