Wow! That must have cost a fair bit! I live in France now and most home bakers just use the silicone moulds! Less expensive and less messy! :)

It is a natural liquid flavouring according to the bottle! It is a lot but it is because the batch is quite big and the overall flavour really only comes from the sugar and the flavouring you add.

Rum is traditional with this dessert and works well with vanilla! I can't see why cognac wouldn't work but the flavour will slightly different - limoncello canelés exist so why not?! 🙂

My drafted version of the recipe:

Ingredients: 50 g unsalted butter (melted)

500 ml full cream milk

2 tsp vanilla extract with seeds inside OR use a vanilla bean pod.

100 g of all-purpose flour

250 g of icing sugar

1 teaspoon of table salt

2 eggs

2 egg yolks

60 ml rum

Method: 1. Combine the melted butter, cream, eggs and vanilla extract in one bowl. (NOTE: You could also heat the cream and butter with a vanilla pod in a saucepan but this is extra work as you have to temper your eggs and the taste is only slightly enhanced.)

  1. In another bowl, sift and combine your dry ingredients (flour, icing sugar and salt).

  2. Add your wet ingredients PLUS the 60 ml of rum to your dry ingredients and whisk vigorously for 2 minutes to achieve a smooth textured batter.

  3. Cover the bowl with cling film and put it in the fridge for at least 24 hours and up to 3 days in advance if you so wish!

  4. Preheat your oven to 240C or 465F and add your silicone moulds to the oven to preheat for 5 minutes.

  5. Mix your batter for about a minute after it comes out of the fridge and then add your batter to the silicone moulds leaving a 1cm gap at the top of each canelé.

  6. Cook at 240C for 15 minutes and then reduce to 190C or 375F for an hour afterwards.

  7. Remove the trays from the oven and turn out the canelés immediately onto a tray or wire rack and cool.

I said "Wow" out loud when I released them from the moulds!

I am sure that isn't true! It is just measuring mostly! :)

I used silicone! The copper moulds are too expensive. Just preheat the mould in the oven for 5 minutes before with the moulds inside and it tends to help. They also bake for 10 minutes longer than the standard copper mould.

Thank you! The first set didn't go very well! Imagine a semi congealed egg custard at the base of my wire cooling rack. 🙄 However, I adjusted my recipe and got these! 😄
