There's a bake sale at my son's school today, just in time for easter: so i made butterscotch cupcakes topped with cocoa frosting and meringue eggs in a crunchy butterscotch nest!

madeleines! everyone's favourite proustian delight is far easier to make than expected. and, delicious in a way that only something with lots of butter and sugar and eggs can be. the recipe i used is a cross between the entry in an old copy of the larousse gastronomique, with instructional tips from david lebovitz.
