You can find it in most supermarkets now in the home baking section.<br /><br />Always let sponge cool as it is very fragile when warm.<br /><br />Hope this helpsThe Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-7112460769365246442013-05-25T12:12:10.008+01:002013-05-25T12:12:10.008+01:00I got my moulds and made some this morning, half o...I got my moulds and made some this morning, half of them were perfect but some of them stuck to the tin.

I too, hadn't seen nor had one for many years and took an albeit square one home for my lunch today. I then looked it up on the www and here I am - wonderful!<br />I shall be having a go at making them myself too - perhaps for a Twelfth Night party.Khybernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-83863964588036040212012-04-21T18:44:04.295+01:002012-04-21T18:44:04.295+01:00Thank you for this blog post.

(I am American, married to a Brit living in England.) We were at our local W.I. May Fair and I saw them on the baked goods table. The lady who baked them told me they were madeleines. We bought a couple, brought them home and had them with a cup of tea. Lovely! I then did some research online, which led me to your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-42723454427085367262012-02-19T08:49:02.332+00:002012-02-19T08:49:02.332+00:00My little sister called English Madeleines "D...My little sister called English Madeleines "Dougal Cakes" - one had fallen over on the tray in a cake shop window.

I had a discussion earlier today with my 89yr young Dad who started asking me about cakes he used to bake for us when Mum was in hospital(or resting up after) having one of my siblings (I am No2 of 10). We reminisced about 'cream horns' and I mentioned 'madeleines' describing pyramid shaped sponges coved in jam and coconut but he said no madeleines were small shell-like cakes!!!! Later I looked on-line and found something called a 'coconut castle' which I sent him and then my Sister sent him an email with a link to your post!!!! I can taste them still and it is probably 50years or more since I tasted them.

I've tried to find a Madeleine recipe online, and only came across the French variety (we even thought my grandmother must have created this recipe because we couldn't find it anywere) but finally i found this! I'm so happy!! I can finally make these and savour the taste and memories of what my wonderful grandmother made for us all those years ago!Ranjininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-52083886031292728372010-12-02T22:08:23.935+00:002010-12-02T22:08:23.935+00:00I was looking for an explanation on the difference...I was looking for an explanation on the difference between them and us, for a friend on Foodbuzz - loved yours.
