Madeleines

Cultural Context

Originating from the Lorraine region of France, madeleines are small sponge cakes shaped like shells. They are traditionally served with tea or coffee and are often associated with French literary culture, notably in Marcel Proust's work "In Search of Lost Time". Today, madeleines are enjoyed worldwide, with various flavors and fillings reflecting local tastes.
