Butterscotch Madelines
Posted on August 28th, 2009 by theapartmentkitchen
I wanted to send a care package home for my family for their upcoming birthday celebration. Looking through my recipe log, I wasn’t sure what to make, until I stumbled across a recipe on a fellow blogger’s site. It promised a moist, dense cake with incredible butterscotch flavor. Turns out, it was absolutely true! This is one of the best cakes I’ve made in a long time – so simple, very few ingredients, and fantastic flavor. It will be a long-time, go-to favorite.
