The Chef's words

Preparing these madeleines is a true ritual, where every gesture counts to create an exceptional delicacy. The brown butter brings a unique depth of flavor, while the chopped chocolate, added just before baking, melts gently to offer a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Letting the dough rest overnight allows the flavors to fully develop, transforming this recipe into a pastry experience that enchants the senses from the first bite.
