Pistachio & Rose Sugar Madeleine

Madeleine. That little delicate French butter tea cake known for it’s beautiful and distinct scalloped shell shape.

Flavours for Madeleines are endless from sweet to savoury, but we like ours with pistachio, a hint of cardamom and garnished with a delicate rose scented sugar.

It’s the prettiest tea time treat for Eid.

Enjoy Lots Of Love 💗
