First time Madeline maker-discovered 10 minutes @400 degrees is too long. Finally got a good cookie at 6 minutes, but my concern has to do with greasing the pan. Used a spray and the cookies slid right out after baking, but had ruffles around the edge of them (like the bubbles from the spray). So tried brushing the pans and they looked great, but had difficulty getting them out of the pan and most of them broke in the process. Any suggestions?

Very good and easy to make. I skipped the powdered sugar. I also got 36 instead of 24 and I think my Madeleine pan is standard size. Made for Spring 2014 PAC.
