How do you make those Starbucks Madeline French cakes ?!
Answers: I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for the little french cakes. I think they are called Madelines? thank you
First you need to get a Madeline pan. Pretty much any recipe site will give you a recipe but here is a secret family tip. Before putting the batter in the pan, use soften butter to grease the pan and put some unflavored bread crumbs to coat. It gives the Madelines a nice coating.
My family is French and Madelines were my grandmas specialtiy
go to starbucks, get some madelines, then come home and put them in the oven until you forget about them. One day you will open your oven and VOILA fresh madelines.

Combine eggs, sugar and salt. Whisk until pale, thick and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts.
On low speed, mix in the sifted flour and almonds until just incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the melted butter until blended.
Fill each mold almost completely full. Bake the madeleines until the tops spring back when lightly touched, 10 to 12 minutes.
