Canelé Recipe

Canelé Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Molds

   Melt the beeswax and coat the inside of the canelé molds with it. Allow them to cool and harden while you prepare the batter.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a saucepan, heat the whole milk until just boiling. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, eggs, and egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking continuously. Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum.

3. 3

   Chill the Batter

   Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to develop the flavors.

4. 4

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

5. 5

   Fill the Molds

   Once the batter has rested, fill the prepared canelé molds to the top.

6. 6

   Bake

   Place the molds in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the canelés are deeply browned and caramelized on the outside.

7. 7

   Cool and Unmold

   Allow the canelés to cool in the molds for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
