I know it’s a few weeks off yet, but does anyone know if you can make madeleines without a special pan? I don’t have one and would prefer not to have to buy one. Are these worth attempting with a plain old cookie sheet?
I haven’t tried them yet, but I wonder if you could use something like a mini tart pan (or even cupcake) with making your batter shallow like the pans?
I made madeleines for the first time last month and having the pan was so worth it! They’re beautiful. From what I’ve read, it’s not recommended to substitute the pan, but to each their own? I got mine for $17 at Bed, Bath & Beyond. It’s already paid for itself because now I’m hooked on making them :)
I’m excited about all of these – September is going to be a great month!
Can’t wait to try all the Sept. recipes, esp. the honey-spiced madeleines.
The last time I checked the winners hadn’t yet been posted. Figuring the corn soup a shoe-in, I bought ingredients and made it yesterday. We’re off to great start! Blog to come later this week…
I’m going to make the creme fraiche, I figure in for a penny!
You can use muffin pans or mini muffin pans for the madeleines, they’ll just have a different shape, they’ll still be tasty!
Thanks for the tip! I’ve never made these before so looking forward to giving them a try.
Does anyone know if there is something we substitute for the speculoos? I don’t want to make the whole speculoo recipe if I only need two for the chicken. Maybe I’ll use panko and add some of the spices that are in the cookies?
Leigh – I used Gingersnaps (David Leite, of Leite’s Culinaria, said you could use those as a substitute), and then added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the mix. Also, my creme fraiche did break, so make sure your pan isn’t too hot when you add it.
