Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Pineapple — Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to remove excess moisture. This will prevent the madeleines from becoming too moist.

  • If you prefer a stronger pineapple flavor, add a few drops of pineapple extract to the batter.
  • Serve the madeleines warm with a scoop of coconut ice cream for a truly indulgent Hawaiian dessert.
