Chef Daniel’s French Madeleine Kit

“I first served Madeleines at Restaurant DANIEL shortly after opening in 1993. Since then, I have served Madeleines at all of my restaurants at the end of the meal as a symbolic gesture of love and appreciation.” – Chef Daniel Boulud

If you’ve visited a patisserie or café in France, chances are you’ve come across the sweet, pillowy confections called Madeleines. Though they may seem like just another dessert at first, Madeleines have a rich (and delicious) history in France.
