Lavender Madeleines

Posted by Alana on

Now that I have lavender sugar, my first experiment in using it was these Lavender Madeleines, which I have to say turned out great. I have had this worm in the back of my mind about making madeleines ever since I watched the movie The Transporter (yes, Jason Statham is one of my guilty pleasures haha). I’ve been thinking about it for years, but never got around to it until now. And I thought the fragrance of lavender would be a nice complement to the butteriness of madeleines – I served them at a dinner party and people were very impressed… so I’ll be doing these again for sure.
