- I just made these - they were easy to make (I used the purchased pistachio paste from King Arthur Flour)...but the pistachio flavor was not as pronounced as I would like....next time I might add a couple of drops of either almond or pistachio extract.Posted by Lisa may 24th 2017 at 01:19 (n° 2)
- Oh how I adore Madeleines, jh. I especially like the use of the pistachio paste. Why have I never thought of that, lol...Thank you so much for sharing and a very Happy New Year to you and yours!!! Louise:)Posted by Louise january 6th 2013 at 15:02 (n° 1)
