Madelines

"This is a very yummy french treat. These butter cakes are a hit with the entire family. I made a batch and only ended up getting one (and I had to snatch it as soon as it came out of the oven). One batch lasted me 10 minutes! But thats a good thing as these cakes are best eaten the day they are made otherwise they dry out."

These were great, and super easy too! I was in the mood to do a little baking tonight and these were so fun, my toddlers helped me make them. My DH and kids loved them (DH said they were perfect and not too sweet). Thank you so much for posting, I will be making this many times in the future. FYI for me this made quite a bit more than a dozen, might be I have a small Madeline pan. I will be using shortening instead of spray for greasing next time, they were a little work to get out of the pan nicely.
