The scent of honey, their bright color and that little winking bump: all the details of these gluten-free French madeleines make them the perfect pastry for breakfast. A symbol of the patisserie française, these gluten free treats are also easy to bake. The only trick is to let the dough rest in the fridge or freezer. In this way the bump will pop-up beautifully.
Please be aware that since this is a simple recipe based on few ingredients, it’s only by choosing high quality ingredients that you can get the best result.
