The Madeleine is a traditional small cake from northeastern France. These are very small sponge cakes with a distinctive shell-like shape and are quite easy to make, but you'll need to purchase scalloped Madeleine molds to get started. It is delicious when eaten just from the oven and cooled until barely warm. They will keep for a day or two in an airtight container.

Cake flour - 3/4 cupEgg - 2
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
