If dusting with cocoa powder, keep in mind that cocoa is messier than flour. As you can see, I tried vainly to clean my mess.

They are traditionally made with butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and baking powder and are flavored with lemon zest or other flavorings such as vanilla, almond, or orange blossom water. The batter is usually chilled before baking, and the resulting cake is soft and spongy with a crisp outer shell. Madeleines are often served with tea or coffee and are a popular French dessert.

If your gluten-free flour blend does not already include xanthan gum, make sure you include it. For the glaze, I simply mixed powdered sugar with cherry juice to achieve the pink glaze that I wanted.
