Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Cannelés : Stage 1
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 : Stage 2
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.

Add 2 tablespoons rum and beat again.

Pour the contents of the bowl into the saucepan.

Stage 5 - 1 day
Cannelés : Stage 5
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.

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.

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.
