A Gai lan and lop Chung pizza might ruin me for all other pizzas.

Ohhh these madeleines make me so happy. I forgot how much I like making them. I should try doing them with chocolate! A new challenge.

It's funny you've been on a banana and PB toast kick. Isn't there something just so comforting about like...toast and PB? For someone who lives and works in food, I eat a LOT of toast or rice cakes and peanut butter with flaky salt. I can't help it. It just makes me so, so happy. With milk bread? UGH. Divine. Banana milk bread? Never tried it but it sounds perfect.

I love this! It’s beautiful! I’ve had a lychee rose mochi bar at a bakery near my house. Great flavor combination

I think this is my sign to cave and buy a madeleine pan even though I have no storage space 🫠

I tried making 12 of these and it was far too much batter and each madeleine was spilling out everywhere and into each other. The photos look like there are more than 12 cavities on your pan. Can you confirm if this is correct?? Thanks!

oh I'm so sorry! It should have been 16! I think I had 12 in my mind because I was polling friends who had these molds/pans about how many madeleines theirs could fit. You should still be filling the molds about 90%!

Any advice on how to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the pan? I used dark chocolate chips, tempered with double boiler, had pan at room temp. cleaned with a paper towel but didn't spray any oil or anything on it before adding chocolate. the chocolate glued tight onto the pan and I ended up with all cake bits and chocolate shards lol

The chocolate needs to be very cold to cleanly snap right out! If you have room in the freezer it make that process faster, otherwise you can chill in the fridge until they are ready.

got it! I did put them in the fridge for 20 minutes as instructed ... does the pan need to be a certain temp? I see conflicting info online about having it warm vs cold. Thanks so much for answering all my questions!

Always happy to answer! Sometimes fridge temps can vary! I would keep chilling them longer! I prefer the freezer but I have a chest freezer which makes fitting the pan in there easier! Hope it works out!
