Ive got a confession to make... this recipe is not actually a recipe for madeleines... its coconut cake batter made in madeleine molds... no separating eggs or folding gently to leave anything fluffy... this is the stuff you can make with the kids and its completely foolproof... The downside? It aint really madeleines.... the up-side? They're just as good, 10 times easier, and a crowd and children pleaser.Trust me... you want to make these....
