Recipe video above. These are way too easy to keep popping in your mouth. They taste like cinnamon doughnuts! Except, baked, not fried :) And the inside is more plush and buttery because the recipe is based on French Madeleines. How did I never do that before - it's too good and too easy not to adapt for other recipes!I make these mini because the batter works best for small little cakes - and also, so cute! But you can totally use a regular muffin tin, see Note 3.
