About Madeline
A madeleine is a small sponge cake originating from France, famously shaped like a small shell. It is a classic delight in French cuisine, often enjoyed with tea or coffee. Madeleines are made from a simple batter comprising eggs, sugar, butter, flour, and sometimes flavored with lemon zest or vanilla extract. Nutritionally, they are energy-dense due to their high fat and carbohydrate content (391 calories per serving). They provide small amounts of calcium (43 mg) and iron (0.87 mg) but lack significant fiber and vitamins such as Vitamin C and D. While delicious, their nutritional profile indicates they are more of a treat than a nutrient-dense food staple.
