Madeleine
The Madeleine (also known as melted rolls in Switzerland ) is a French pastry made from sand that originally comes from Commercy . The dough from flour , powdered sugar , egg , baking soda , lemon zest , butter and rum is a piping bag placed in a mold plate, thereby obtaining the relief of a scallop .
The pastries, named after a cook at the court of the Duke of Lorraine in the 18th century , are now also manufactured industrially.
Madeleine effect
The writer Marcel Proust devotes several pages to the pastry in his work In Search of Lost Time . The taste of a madeleine dipped in tea reminds the narrator of his childhood and thus becomes the catalyst for the entire work.
The occasional effect that a taste or smell experience suddenly evokes very specific memories is called the Madeleine effect or Proust effect or Proust phenomenon according to the Madeleine scene in Proust .
