I know its a heresay but I made madelaines in jam tart tins and they were delicious if not quite so authentic. Love the idea of vintage tins.

In reply to Andrew.

Thanks Andrew – Yes, those tins are quite hard to find. The modern ones I’ve seen for sale seem to be often too large for ovens, and I’m not a fan of those silicon ones.

In reply to Sophie.

Hi Sophie, apols for the delayed reply! The tins were from a charity shop in Lewes. I was beyond excited when I spotted them. That’s the trouble with charity shops though, you never know what you’ll find. I will keep an eye out for you – if I see any more I will give you a heads up!

I love me a madeleines; have to agree I don’t like them too sicky. These look a delight so I’ll just have to keep an eye out for some vintage tins too now.

They look like they turned out really well Heather – I have the Little Paris Kitchen book too but so far have only made the savouries.

And Vintage Madeleine tins – wow, what a find! Can I be nosey and ask you where you found them? I’ve keep looking out for them but they’re not exactly commonplace

Thanks Christine! The tin is from a lovely little biscuit shop in Paris – seemed fitting to use it for Madeleines 🙂

Oh I am actually drooling! I’ll have to drag my madeleine tin out from its dusty home at the back of the cupboard. And I LOVE that tin!
