Madeleines Roses De Saint YrieixThe madeleine out of a shell ....
Like the dozen or so craftsmen and industrialists in Saint-Yrieix, David makes madeleines, those little golden😋, pot-bellied cakes whose shape evokes a scallop shell. For some, it’s closely associated with the roads to Santiago de Compostela, for others with Commercy.
In this small Lorraine town, in the mid-18th century, a cook named “Madeleine” is said to have put her grandmother’s recipe to good use. Later, King Stanislas’ daughter, wife of Louis XV, imposed her infatuation for this 😍”sweetness”😍 on Versailles. Once her reputation was established, her fame spread throughout France.
A journeyman confectioner popularized it in Saint-Yrieix in the mid-19th c., and “la Maison Bijou” gradually made Arie’s expertise in this area known and recognized throughout Limousin and beyond. The traditional madeleine from Saint-Yrieix is made with quality products 👩🏻🍳(flour, butter, sugar, eggs)🍜; preservative-free, it is distinguished by its incomparable softness and bitter almond flavor.
