Is it a cake? Is it a cookie? They are French Madeleines, sort of a cross between the two. They are light and buttery little shells with a touch of lemon and are very easy to make.
Basic ingredients, you probably have all of these on hand. They combine to make a creamy batter.
The key is having one of these Madeleine molds. You can buy one of these special pans at kitchen or baking supply stores.
Bake until the edges start to brown.
Remove the cookies from the pan and cool completely , then dust with powdered sugar.
And enjoy!
