Madeleines are small, cookie-like cakes from the Lorraine region of northeastern France. They are similar to sponge cakes, but lighter in flavor, tiny in size and shell-like in shape. Madeleines are baked in special baking pans, which give them their distinctive shell-like shape, but otherwise they require no special equipment and no techniques venturing beyond basic baking skills.
