These madeleines were a waste of time and ingredients. They were dense and flavorless.

I would not recommend this recipe. The madeleines were bland and didn't have a good texture.

I had trouble getting the madeleines to rise properly. They were still tasty, but they didn't look as nice as I hoped.

These madeleines were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I've tried many madeleine recipes, but this one is by far the best. The madeleines are so moist and flavorful, and they have a beautiful golden crust.

These madeleines were a hit with my family! They were so light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
