Madeleines with orange zest
Description
Homemade treats for tea. I bake cookies in a silicone mold, so I don't prepare it or grease it in any way—the baked goods come out easily and don't stick. If you don't have a special seashell-shaped mold, it doesn't mean you can't make these cookies. Use a muffin tin instead; the cookies will come out like little rounds—just don't put in too much dough. Alternatively, use any biscuit mold currently available, such as those shaped like flowers, squares, or various figures. Serve with tea or coffee.
