Although madeleines are just small sponge cakes shaped like seashells, they always have a sophisticated feel to them, and there are many reasons why. The first and most important reason is the shape, which is exquisitely detailed and looks like a soft ivory fan. Another reason is that when made right, madeleines have a very light texture that almost melts on the tongue.
Beyond that, madeleines are not too sweet, are easy to make, and you can enjoy them at any time of the day: breakfast, snack time, or dessert. If you use the best ingredients and have a great madeleine pan, you're ready to make madeleines a habit. This is actually a good thing.
What is a Madeleine Pan?
The Madeleine baking pan is a one-piece baking pan with a shell-shaped cavity that creates the traditional look of this French biscuit. The cookies will shrink slightly as they bake. The cookies are baked upside down, so one side (the bottom when in the pan) has ridges similar to a seashell, while the top puffs up slightly, giving the cookies their signature hump.
If you wish to make authentic cameleback madeleines, you have to make sure your baking is optimized, which means having a quality mold for the best results.
There are many madeleine molds on the market - which means you're bound to find one that suits your needs.
What to look for when looking forMadeleine pan?
The choice of madeleine tray is crucial as it determines what material is used. You can find different molds made of carbon steel or aluminum.
Madeleine pan made of carbon steel are known for their excellent heat transfer properties. Adding a covering coating prevents it from spoiling during baking. Ensure that harmful substances such as PTFE, PFOA, etc. will not be released at high temperatures.
One of the disadvantages of aluminum molds is that they may not support frequent use. Although aluminum has reasonable conductive properties, it is not the best material to choose.
CHEFMADE's Madeleine pan adopts thickened 0.8mm carbon steel to accelerate even heat. Strengthened edge to convenient use and avoid warping. Ensure longer service life.

How do you remove madeleines from the pan?
Removing baked goods from any molded pan can be tricky.When using metal pans, be sure to grease them thoroughly (butter is traditionally preferred) to coat all grooves evenly. Sprinkling the butter with flour also helps.
Invert the pan onto a wire rack and they should slide right out of the pan with enough grease. If the cookies need a little help, use an offset spatula to pry them out. Avoid using metal utensils with nonstick pots and pans.
What's the best way to clean a madeleine pan?
It is generally recommended to hand wash Madeleine pan to avoid scratching or damaging the surface. Avoid using abrasives and metal tools, especially on nonstick coatings. After soaking the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, use a soft rag or sponge to wipe down any crevices. Make sure to let the pan dry completely (or dry it by hand and then let it air dry to remove all the moisture) before storing it away.
