Madeleines

Overview

Madeleines (shell cakes) are French-style small desserts originally prepared at home. The man who promoted it to cake halls around the world must be considered the great French writer Proust. Proust's taste memories of shell cakes led him to write a long literary masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time", which also pushed shell cakes onto the stage of history. According to rumors, shell cakes (madeleines) are also known as (Madeleinecommercy). It is said to be a snack full of family flavor in the city of Commercy in France. In 1730, when the gourmet King of Poland Leguczynski was in exile in the city of Mersey, one day, his personal chef actually slipped away during the dessert. At this time, a maid baked her specialty snacks and sent them out for emergency. Unexpectedly, Leguczynski liked it very much, so he used the name of the maid, Madeleines, for the name of the snack, and Madeleines is the real name of the shell cake.
