Madeleines

The French class was busy in the kitchen making Madeleines, traditional French shell-shaped sponge cakes known for their light, buttery texture. Madeleines have a rich history rooted in the Lorraine region of France. According to legend, they were named after a young maid, Madeleine Paulmier, who baked these delicate cakes for a royal banquet. Today, they remain a symbol of French baking artistry.
