La Crepe Jolie Lemon Madeleine Recipe
By Amanda Flower
In Prose and Cons,
Grandma Daisy and Violet Waverly want to provide refreshments for the Poe-try
Reading, an event they are hosting to celebrate the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
The event will be held at their magical bookshop, Charming Books, during the
Cascade Springs Food and Wine Festival, the most anticipated event in the
village each autumn. Grandma Daisy enlists the help of La Crepe Jolie, the
French café down the street from the bookshop, and among the many treats that
café makes for the event are lemon madeleines, Grandma Daisy’s favorite cookies.
She says nothing is better with a cup of tea than a lemon madeleine. Enjoy the
recipe!
