They’re often like eating mini artful masterpieces, which makes the experience that much more enjoyable and fun. For Christmas, I received a madeleine pan (My family knows me too well!), so naturally I got right to work whipping up a batch. In case you’re not familiar, Madeleines (pronounced mad.lɛn) are small french sponge cakes baked into a distinctive shell shape. I found inspiration in A Cup of Mai’s yummy lemon madeleine recipe, and for a twist added a light lavender glaze to the tops of the cookies. I chose to use a Meyer Lemon because they’re in season right now, and I love the sweet, floral flavor, but you could certainly use whatever kind is in season. These little treasures are so delicious (dip them in your coffee!) and fun to make, I’ll definitely be making them again, and next time I want to do one of these!

Last year we made Real Simple’s quick and easy popovers (served with crème fraîche and berries) and it worked so well, I think we’ll do it again this year. With just five basic ingredients, the batter whips together in roughly 5 minutes, it’s divided between muffin cups, then popped in the oven so you can enjoy the gift opening without missing a beat.  Serve popovers with crème fraîche, jam, fresh berries, and you’ll have breakfast covered in no time. Check out Real Simple for the recipe!
