Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Madeleine Pans are beautiful - so that was the impetus for me. These are the absolute best when they just come out of the oven. There are variations on this recipe, including orange flower water or rosewater which can be found in specialty cooking shops. If using the flower water, eliminate the lemon and add 2 t of the orange flower water or 1 T rosewater.
