Recently i finally purchased Okashi Sweet Treats Made With Love upon flipping through this book this japanese milky madeleines caught my eyes, i had never baked madeleines before as i did not have the baking moulds so i always skipped baking madelelines but these were baked in paper cups and they looked so pretty i couldn't resist baking them. The results extremely fragrant and delicious give it a try will ya?
My tops came popping out but the pictures in the book were flat lol but its ok they are still pretty anyway!
