Madeleines
For the Paella Party I was looking for some different desserts to serve after the paella. I made a flan and also some fresh berries served in a Kirsch (cherry brandy) sauce but was looking for one more small dessert to go with the after-dinner Port wine. Although these are French in origin they fit the need perfectly.
While the recipe calls for a madeleine pan, a cookie sheet with indentations, you can make them in any form; think muffin pan here. For a special treat dip the cookies halfway into some melted chocolate. The madeleines are soft, not overly sweet and perfect for a light finish to any meal
