The heavy-gauge steel plaque has a nonstick finish, guaranteeing 12 perfect sponge cakes, miniature corn cakes or biscuits. The traditional bakers molds are made of steel, protected by a heavy coating of tin (or a non-stick finish), and rimmed for strength and durability. The use of non-stick finishes and silicone base materials helps to make unmolding and clean-up easier. A light, delicate cookie, the madeleine is eaten all by itself, or with coffee or tea. Dont hesitate to dip. For larger size madeleines, please see item NS645 Made in France.
