As promised, here is my favorite homemade snack recipe of the week: Madeleines! (from Benoît Molin – translated and adapted from french, from France Info website)
Ingredients (for 16 madeleines):

a pinch of salt
Instructions:

Butter and flour 16 (3 inch) madeleine molds; set aside.
Melt butter and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with sugar, flour and salt until you get a homogenous dough.
Add melted butter and continue to mix.
Pour 1 Tbsp. in each mold
Put in the oven for 4 minutes and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 4 more minutes.
