Well, with the cold weather - it was a Madeleine kind of evening. I had been on a Madeleine kick recently and had made numerous batches of large Madeleines. My favorite recipe of late is Dorie Greenspan's Earl Grey Tea madeleines. The glitch being I had only one pan and the 12 produced from that pan didn't last very long. Solution: buy a second pan. I debated and then broke down and headed to the closest WS after work. Alas, they only had the classic pans in non-stick, not very classic in my opinion and twice the price! Backup plan: buy two mini Madeleine pans. That worked, but I still wanted that elusive larger size, just not in non-stick. They graciously called the other store further down the road and hooray, they had the large pan. Drove to the next WS, and purchased the larger pan. Now I had 2 large and 2 minis, perfect for a perfect evening of Madeleine debauchery. I doubled the recipe and it made two full pans of minis and one pan of traditionals.

Madeleines for dinner, bedtime snack, breakfast, mid-morning snack and who knows.... Seriously, it allowed me to make enough that I could take them to work and share.
