I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my madeleines didn't look like the ones in the picture.

The madeleines didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit dry and dense. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These madeleines were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried many madeleine recipes, but this one is by far the best. The madeleines are perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. They're also very easy to make.

These madeleines were a hit with my family! They were so light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
