Madeleines have a certain 'je ne sais quoi'. Not only are they a pretty choice for a Parisian-style afternoon tea, but they also taste incredibly delicious. Tip: If you like, you can take the madeleines out of the oven a little early so that they are still a bit gooey inside. Simply pop them in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours and you have the perfect madeleine praline.
