Use pistachio paste rather than powder, if possible, as the smooth texture helps it to mix easily into the madeleine batter.

  • 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.
