Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Cannelés
Put 500 ml whole milk, 60 g butter, 1 vanilla pod and 100 g caster sugar into a saucepan and bring to the boil.

Stage 2 - 5 min.
Cannelés
Put 2 eggs, 1 egg yolk, 125 g flour and 125 g caster sugar into a bowl.

Mix with a whisk.

Stage 3 - 3 min.
Cannelés
Add 2 tablespoons rum and beat again.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Cannelés
Pour the contents of the bowl into the saucepan.

Stage 5 - 1 day
Cannelés
Beat to mix well.

The batter is ready. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.

This resting time is very important for the recipe to work properly.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Cannelés
After this time, a skin may have formed on the top. Beat to mix once again.

Preheat the oven to 240°C (460°F).

Stage 7 - 5 min.
Cannelés
Divide the batter evenly between the moulds. Be careful not to fill them more than 3/4 full, as the cannelés will rise during cooking.

Stage 8 - 1 hour
Cannelés
Bake for one hour (the time will depend on your oven), until the cannelés are nicely browned on the outside but still soft in the middle.
Remarks
You can replace the rum with another flavouring of your choice.

When we make a classic tomato sauce, we generally use tinned crushed tomatoes, and that's already very good. But it's possible to do much better, using fresh tomatoes (when in season, of course), which are gently preserved in the oven with thyme and garlic. See how in this recipe.
