HISTORY:

The origin of Madeleines is shrouded in mystery, with several legends circulating about their 'invention'. These legends often involve a female cook named Madeleine who served an important figure in Lorraine's history, but there is no consensus on the surname of the cook or the identity of the famous figure. Some believe the Madeleines were created for Cardinal Paul de Gondi in the 17th century, while others credit Madeleine Paulmier, a cook for Stanislaus I, Duke of Lorraine and exiled King of Poland in the 18th century.

According to one story, Louis XV, son-in-law of the Duke, was so charmed by the Madeleines that he named them after Madeleine Paulmier, and his wife, Maria Leszczyńska, introduced them to the court in Versailles. The cakes soon became popular throughout France, especially among the royal family.

Another legend links the Madeleines to the pilgrimage to Compostela in Spain, where a pilgrim named Madeleine is said to have brought the recipe back, or a cook named Madeleine is said to have offered the shell-shaped cakes to passing pilgrims.

Yet other stories attribute the invention of the Madeleines to pastry chef Jean Avice, who worked for Prince Talleyrand and is said to have created the cakes in the 19th century using aspic moulds.

09 - Using a strainer (sifter or duster) dust some Flour on the buttered pan.

10 - Now, remove the prepared Batter from the fridge, and fill each mold of the pan with approximately a tablepoon of Batter. You won't need to smooth, press or spread the Batter inside it's mold, the Batter will melt and gently spread to its place.

11 - Bake for qbout 12-15 minutes, or until the Madelines look done, usually when the edges are slightly darcker and the Madelines are firm to the touch. You can even use a toothpick to check the inside. Simply sprick the Madeline and if the toothpick comes out clean, it's ready.

12 - Let the Madelines cool for a few hours outside the oven.

13 - Use a fork to remove each Madeline, and transfer them onto a rack.
