Pecan Madeleines

Pecan Madeleines: this recipe uses browed butter, chopped pecans, and brown sugar for the perfect nutty flavour.

For our recent Fall Tea Party we thought it would be nice to include some Pecan Madeleines -read all about the fall tea party here.  

Madeleines are the lovliest little cake like cookie.  They’re perfect with a cup of tea.  And with the addition of browned butter, brown sugar, and pecans these seem just right for fall.

I’m sharing this recipe as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series, and there are lots more fall recipes at the end of this post from my blogging friends so be sure to have a look at them and get inspired for fall.

My youngest daughter, who loves to bake, is named Madeline.  I remember buying Madeleines for the get together after her baby dedication.  They just seem like the perfect cookie for her.

Recently when we were doing a little shopping on vacation we found a Madeleine pan at a little kitchen shop and decided we should buy it and try out some Madeleine recipes.  I say we, but it was really Maddie.  She read up all about them, and started experimenting. 

She developed this recipe herself and made these, and they are so delicious.  When they are fresh they have the perfect slightly crunchy outside, and soft inside.  They’re not overly sweet, and the pecans add a great flavour and little bit of crunch -perfect for fall.  A Madeleine and a cup of tea is a match made in heaven.

We’ll likely share a few more Madeleine recipes with different combinations and add-ins, but this is my favourite so far that she’s created.
