I feel like I have ignored my madeleines pan lately...I haven't touched it since early spring when I made these 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.

I have tested two gluten free flour blends in this recipe. I liked King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. This doesn't mean other blends won't work, I just haven't tested any others. Try to avoid flour blends that are high in starch.

As always, if your blend does not contain Xanthan Gum, you will need to add 1 teaspoon.

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 350 degrees F until done. Allow them to cool on a cooling rack.
