First, of course, you've got to get a Madeleine pan. I got this one, which I think is new old stock, on ebay. The little "Made in France" sticker didn't hurt.
Then, don your Frenchiest baking outfit.

The first recipe I tried produced some really good looking Madeleines, but there was something really off about their flavor and texture. I know it sounds oxymoronic, but I think the problem may have been too much butter. The second recipe I used was much simpler, and turned out some scrumptious little cookie-cakes which, accompanied in true Proustian style by tea, seemed to please the ladies of supper club.
This month’s theme at Supper Club was also supposed to involve a performance component. For mine, I read the famous Madeleine passage from Swann's Way and printed up some Proust questionnaires on pretty stationery. We had a great time filling them out and trying to guess who supplied which answers. Highly recommended.
And to put my money where my Madeleines are, I’ve begun the third volume.
