This is not a troll post!! I'm practicing baking my first ever Madeleines, followed the recipe down to the dot, but the tip rises more than the rest while baking. Is it the placement on the oven rack or maybe the way I poured the mix onto the tray?

Sorry don’t have the answer – but gave me a giggle, those little boobs 😅
I’m so sorry but I’m laughing rn. The caption, the post, the picture , the NSFW tag. Thankyou for giving me a good laugh, i was feeling a bit off so this made it better.
Maybe the temperature is too low 🤭
They’re supposed to be like that! We just made them in my culinary class. My teacher said the bumps are called “Le Bosse” Only store-bought ones are flat.
How I personally make them is putting the “dough” in the fridge, warming the oven way hotter, placing them in the oven and lowering the temp. That way you should have a nice round hump.
I can look on the recipe page if you want more precise infos
(Also someone said it already bug bang the pan!)
The hump is a sign that it is baked well! Keep doing what you’re doing! I do see some are a bit more questionable than others— in that case you can consider trying to smooth the batter a bit when you deposit it in the molds.
I’m too early on this post. I’m bookmarking it so I can come back and read the comments later.
Now I want to know if this is why they are called Madeleines.
Are you playing Marvin Gaye in the kitchen?
The recipe I used to make mine said to dab the tops with a wet fingertip before baking to keep them from getting the “nipple”, but I’m not sure if that was nonsense or not!
Ummm they’re actually normal as is. Madeleine’s Nipples. Mad Nips or Maddy Nips or Maddie’s Nips also works. Dip them in chocolate and they could be nipples of Venus like in the movie chocolat.
That looks so funny though 🤣
OMG, laughing so hard! Personally, I think you’re onto something. Leave them like that and add a dab of sparkly icing and a tassle- they’ll sell like hotcakes, lol!!
The nsfw tag sent me
Put on a sweater
You have to bite them lol
If you’re old like me, you’ll be thinking ‘Madonna’s bra’.
I did giggle – especially at the NSFW. Who knew delicious baking could elicit Reddit censorship?!
Your Madeleines look fantastic. Amazing first attempt!
Is Madonna trying to give her pointed bralette a comeback?
Well it is a french pastry after all… 😉
The bump is part of the ideal.
My problem is I can never get the scallop shape to work out, the underside is just rounded.
The blurred thumbnail is comedic perfection lol. I don’t have an answer but thank you for the early morning laugh!
the NSFW tag 🥲

Obligatory comment about cold nips…. This comment section is hilarious. Thanks for sharing, OP.
I think u/paboozorusrex has the most helpful answer thus far and to jump off of that, I think your oven may be off a bit. There’s definitely supposed to be a hump. But not a nip on that hump…
Most ovens work through a wavelength heating pattern. If you set it to 350° it will blast until that temperature, then will drop down to say 340° internally before clicking back on and blasting to 360° hypothetically. As ovens get older, these temp ranges can increase. So hypothetically if you’re cooking Madeline’s at 375°, your oven could have dropped down to 300° before blasting back on.
My guess is it got a tad bit nippy in your oven and the exact wrong time, right before the batter was fully set, and then clicked back on to create one last rise, causing this beautiful lil nip.
I just can’t imagine this happening again…but please make the recipe again and share!!
I think the oven is still on, it suddenly became so hot in here🥵
Lmao 🤣
I’m sure my 18 months old would appreciate more than us adults these nipple madeleines
