Each year I look forward to watching the Great British Bake-off and although some of those theme weeks are a bit wonky, it’s interesting to observe skilled bakers ply their art.

This madeleine recipe was part of the Celebrity Bake-Off Challenge for SU2C (Stand Up to Cancer) in 2022. They were easy to bake, and even though my chocolate decorating skills are a bit underwhelming, they were quite tasty.

I’m pretty certain that Prue and Paul would tell me these madeleines were quite the mess and send me packing. You can find the recipe for Prue Leith’s Maple & Pecan Madeleines here. The only substitution I made was to use actual maple syrup in place of the maple flavoring.
