SMS: Honey Chestnut Madelines


I love madelines even though I haven't had many. I have made more plain madelines (just a little lemon zest) and they disappear before I realize what is happening!


These madelines are a little fancier with brown butter, ground hazelnuts, and honey. To be honest, I think I prefer plain madelines. Not to say that these aren't tasty because they are. Just not my favorite.


The recipe can be found at Cafe Chibita.

  5. These look beautiful! I am looking forward to trying the lemon version. I thought these were delicious so I hate to see what I may think of the lemon ones :)

  7. I definitely echo your sentiment about preferring plain madeleines. Yours look wonderful, mine got a bit overcooked so they were more brown than I'd have liked.
