Default madeleines

I have been wanting a madeleine pan ... now it looks like I have to get one

When presented with something chocolate, oval-shaped and dusted with
confectioner's sugar, they tend to just dig in, no questions asked. This
certainly was the case with the chocolate madeleines my father prepared for
me and my classmates when I was in grade school. Like sweet potatoes on
Thanksgiving and hot fudge sundaes in summer, the madeleines were something
I grew to find delicious, festive and, on certain occasions, entirely
expected.
