I had my first madeline when I was living in London. They were a favorite of our house "mother" Thomasina and if you were lucky enough to find her at tea time there were almost always madelines around. To this day I can't see them without thinking of that sweet lady. It wasn't until years later when I decided to pull out one of my favorite french cookbooks and make them myself for the first time. I couldn't believe how easy they were.
I have been craving them lately and thought what could be more perfect with tea or a glass of champagne than madelines with a hint of rose. So I adapted a recipe and I am so happy with the results!
So pull out that rose sugar from last week and lets get baking. I have to say the rose flavor is very subltle but that's what I want when I'm enjoying it with a great tea. Recipe after the jump!
