"What is Madeleine?"
According to "the Pastry Chef's Companion",
it is a small, light sponge cake baked in madeleine pan, which gives it its distinct elongated scallop shell shape. It is traditionally served with tea or coffee, and many be made in a variety of flavors including lemon, orange, coffee, or chocolate.
Madeleines have a crisp exterior and moist interior, and were originally flavored with orange flower water. Although their origin is debated, it is believed they are named after King Stanislaw Lesczeynski's cook, Madeline, who created them in 1755.
