Madeleines are a classic French pastry that have become popular all over the world. These mini Madeleines are a smaller version of the traditional Madeleine, and are the perfect size for a quick snack. They are light and fluffy, with a delicate orange blossom scent and a hint of almond. You can serve them at breakfast with a cup of coffee or as an afternoon tea-time treat with a pot of tea. They also make a great homemade gift for friends and family.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While these Madeleines are not particularly healthy, they can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation. Almonds are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, and can help reduce cholesterol levels in the body. Orange flower water is said to have a calming effect on the mind and can aid in digestion.
