Spiced Orange Madeleines

These delicious Spiced Orange Madeleines have a light, tender texture, with a gentle aroma and flavour of orange zest, cinnamon, and nutmeg. These little shell-shaped cakes are gloriously elegant, not surprising, due to their French origins. They are ideal for morning or afternoon tea or served as dessert with our No-Churn Orange Ice Cream.
