Immediately remove the madeleines from the shells to a cooling rack by inserting a butter knife under one end, and flipping the madeleines out onto the rack, ridged side up.

Repeat until all the batter is used, greasing the madeleine pan each time.

Once theyve cooled to room temperature, sift a little confectioners sugar over the tops.
