These Chai Madeleines combine the classic light, buttery texture of traditional French madeleines with the warm, aromatic flavors of chai spices. Infused with a blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves, each bite delivers a cozy, fragrant experience. Perfect for pairing with tea or coffee, these delicate shell-shaped cakes offer a delightful balance of sweetness and spice. Chai madeleines are an ideal treat for afternoon gatherings or a comforting snack. If you don’t have a 15-well madeleine pan or two pans, simply bake in batches. For best results, rest the batter overnight. For an extra warm fragrance, add the optional extra cinnamon to the coating.
