Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Cannelés
Put 1 litre 500 ml whole milk, 180 g butter, 3 vanillas pod and 300 g caster sugar into a saucepan and bring to the boil.

Stage 2 - 5 min.
Cannelés

Cannelés
Pour the contents of the bowl into the saucepan.

Stage 5 - 1 day

Beat to mix well.

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

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

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.
