Canelés bordelais

A canelé is a small French pastry flavored with rum and vanilla with a soft, tender custard center and a thick, dark caramelized crust. A specialty of the Bordeaux region in France, it is now widely available in pastry shops in France and abroad.

Ingredients :

50 cl of milk

1⁄2 vanilla bean

1 tablespoon of rum

100 g flour

250 g powdered sugar

50 g soft butter (+ 50 g to butter the molds)

1 pinch of salt

2 whole eggs

2 egg yolks

Ustensils :

Canelé mould

1 salad bowl

1 wooden spoon

1 oven

How to make it :

Boil the milk with the split vanilla bean and the butter.

In the meantime, mix the flour and sugar in a bowl

then add the eggs all at once and pour in the boiling milk.

Mix gently to obtain a fluid paste like a pancake batter. Leave to cool. Then add the rum

Before placing in the refrigerator and let rest one hour.

Preheat the oven to 475°F with the baking sheet on which the canelés will be baked [if you are using a silicone mould, set the oven to a maximum of 425°F . Pour the cooled batter into the butte red molds, filling them only halfway.

Quickly, place the canelés on the sheet of the preheated oven at 475°F for 12 minutes (20 minutes at 425°F with a silicone mold), then lower the temperature to 350°C (thermostat 6) and continue baking for 1 hour: the cannelé should have a brown crust and a soft interior.

Turn out while still warm.
