Madeleines, also known as Madeleine commercy. It is said to be a small snack with full family flavor in Commercy, France. In 1730, the gourmet King of Poland, Stanisław Leszczyński. When he was in exile in Commercy, one day, when his personal chef was supposed to serve dessert, he disappeared. At this time, a maid servant hastily baked her specialty snack and sent it out for emergency. Unexpectedly, it was very much to the liking of Stanisław Leszczyński. So the maid servant’s name, madeleines, was used on the name of the snack. And madeleines is also the original name of shell cakes.
