Pure butter Madeleines

The little shell-shaped cake so emblematic of the Fauchon house is back... You've recognized it well, it's obviously the Madeleine. Did you miss it? We did too. FAUCHON madeleines, lovingly crafted from pure butter, free-range eggs and French wheat flour, embody the savoir-faire and tradition of the house. Its soft heart, its lightly caramelized underside, its beautiful golden shell, its plump little belly, its molded shape, its gentle roundness - these are just some of the words used to describe such a simple, authentic pleasure. For Fauchon, its Madeleine is an adage, and the artisanal recipe has been handed down from generation to generation. At the crossroads of tradition and indulgence, the Madeleine has written its own history before becoming part of that of the House of FAUCHON. This little shell-shaped cake takes us back to the 18th century, when the King of Poland was dazzled by the delicacy of this delicacy and introduced it to the court of Versailles. These buttery sweets became the very image of chic and elegance, and a must-have at prestigious tables around the world. While the madeleine perfectly embodies the French art of living, it is also one of the greatest symbols of the Fauchon house. Indeed, Auguste Fauchon opened his first grocery store specializing in French products in 1886, on the Place de la Madeleine, the emblematic square of the capital and of the brand that bears his name. When you taste the FAUCHON Madeleine, you can't help but delight in it, wide-eyed or puckering up your lips. It plays the role of Proust's Madeleine very well, and when soaked in a tea infusion, lime blossom tea or a crunch, it revives buried memories and provokes a whole host of emotions.
