Jean-Paul's Cornmeal Madeleines

Jean-Paul Bourgeois | April 9, 2018

Jean-Paul Bourgeois serves his famous cornmeal madeleines with Louisiana cane syrup at Blue Smoke in New York City. While he makes them in a traditional madeleine pan, we swap it out for a cast iron cornstick pan and trade the cane syrup for Tennessee sorghum syrup, and the result is just as delicious.
