Madelines......

I bought these molds in Japan. I prefer this shape(resembling a scallop) rather than the oblong shell shape that you see most often.

Here are some ginger madelines that I made along with raspberry parisian macarons both of which are quite popular in Japan and can be found in most patisseries. As easy as madelines are to make with basic ingredients of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour they are surprisingly expensive in Japan with some costing as much as $1.80 ea..

sugar 133 g., eggs 2, milk 33 g., flour 133 g., baking powder 4 g., melted butter 133 g. Mix the ingredients in order. Spoon or pipe into madeline molds. 12 minutes in a 180 deg. C. oven.
