Description
Madeleines are known as a traditional French pastry. They are delicious in their own right! For us, this was reason enough to change the look of the basic recipe a little and add a touch of exoticism. The secret lies in the cream that turns the madeleines into filled shells. They not only look great, but also have a wonderfully intense aroma thanks to a mixture of chai spices.
