Pure butter madeleines

The little shell-shaped cake so emblematic of the Fauchon house is back... You recognized it, it's obviously the Madeleine. Did you miss her? To us too. FAUCHON madeleines, lovingly made from pure butter, free-range eggs and French wheat flour, embody the expertise and tradition of the house. Its soft heart, its slightly caramelized underside, its beautiful golden shell, its plump little belly, its molded shape, its gentle roundness, so many words to describe such a simple and authentic pleasure. For the Fauchon house, its Madeleine is an adage and it is from generation to generation that the artisanal recipe follows it through the ages. At the crossroads of tradition and gluttony, the Madeleine writes its own story before including it in that of the FAUCHON house. This small shell-shaped cake takes us back to the 18th century, when the King of Poland was dazzled by the finesse of this dish and introduced it to the court of Versailles. These buttery delicacies then become the very image of chic and elegance, as well as a must-have on prestigious tables around the world. If the madeleine perfectly embodies the French art of living, it is also one of the greatest symbols of the Fauchon house. In fact, Auguste Fauchon opened his first grocery store specializing in French products in 1886, on the emblematic square of the capital and the brand that bears his name: Place de la Madeleine.
