Baking with Dorie: Fluff-Filled Chocolate Madeleines

Bonjour from Paris!  Michael and I just flew in this morning.

This week's Baking with Dorie recipe on Serious Eats is for Fluff-Filled Chocolate Madeleines, fun, delicious little cakes, which, as you'll read, I won't be serving to my Parisian neighbors.

If filling a national treasure with marshmallow fluff sounds a little too goofy to you,  skip the fluff - the chocolate madeleines are great all by their ownsomes.  But I urge you to go for the ganache dip.  What doesn't taste better wtih ganache?

What a great idea! Like all the best elements of a cake in a little package (or, kind of like devil dogs done right). I might even make my own fluff (sugar syrup whipped into egg whites) w/ a good vanilla. Yum! I can almost taste it. :)

oh please describe Paris-at-Christmas time in as much detail as you have time for.

How wonderful to be in Paris now! Enjoy.
I've made the chocolat madeleines several times from your book with Pierre Herme and they were excellent and not difficult to make at all. I like to brush them while they are still warm with framboise liquor but stuffing with fluff sounds very interesting. Miam miam!!!

Sounds goofy and great! I've been thinking about you lately, by the by (it's hard not to, as I do my holiday shopping and think of many loved ones would love your book!) - how've you been?

Madeleines are one of the few recipes I haven't yet tried from Baking! I'm hoping Santa will grace me with a madeleine pan so that I can change that...

My son's consider fluff a food group. Im sure they would love these. If only I weren't terrified of madeleines!
