CANELéS DE BORDEAUX

These crispy French custard cakes are traditionally baked in special fluted molds, but the molds were no longer available in my local shop. So I improvised with muffin tins and the results were pretty amazing. Just be sure you bake them long enough to achieve the classic crispy exterior.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
4 egg yolks
¼ cup rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons beeswax

Steps:

  • Place flour, sugar, egg yolks, rum, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix and smear into a smooth paste using a spatula. Continue mixing until flour is fully incorporated.
  • Place butter and pour milk into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. As soon as milk mixture comes to a simmer, remove from heat. Slowly add half the milk to the flour mixture to prevent the egg yolks from cooking. Whisk until well blended and smooth. Slowly pour in the rest of the milk mixture; whisk until batter is smooth. Batter will be thin.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Melt 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter and beeswax in a skillet over medium heat. Stir with a pastry brush. Remove from heat. Brush the bottom and the sides of each muffin cup generously with the butter/beeswax mixture.
  • Ladle batter into muffin cups until mixture is almost to the top. Place pan in preheated oven. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake until canelés are very well browned, about 50 minutes.
  • Allow to cool just 5 minutes. Run a thin blade around the sides and carefully remove canelés from cups. Invert onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely to room temperature to create the crispy surface.

CANNELES FROM BORDEAUX: CANNELES DE BORDEAUX



Canneles from Bordeaux: Canneles de Bordeaux image

These extraordinary little confections are a specialty of Bordeaux, where nuns were said to have created them more than 200 years ago using the flour they salvaged from the holds of sailing ships anchored in the Port de la Lune. I like to call them "portable creme brulee" because they contrast a crunchy caramelized exterior with a moist, custardy center. This recipe is a bit particular. You really need authentic copper cannele molds and you really do need to coat them with beeswax (which you can find at some health food store and farmers' markets). The wax makes the unmolding easier, and - most important - gives the canneles their distinctive, crunchy crust. Make sure you let the batter rest for the full 12 hours. The best way to eat these is with a cup of strong coffee. You can also serve them as a dessert, cut in half and drizzled with caramel sauce.

Time 12h50m

Yield 18 canneles

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped
7 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup pastry flour
1 extra-large egg yolk
2 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons dark rum
3 ounces beeswax, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the milk, vanilla bean, and its scrapings. Bring the milk to the scalding point over medium high heat, then remove the pan from the heat and add the 3 tablespoons of butter. Set aside to cool to lukewarm.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, eggs and rum. Whisk the egg mixture into the sugar and flour mixture, then whisk in the lukewarm milk mixture. Strain into a container; cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  • To prepare molds for baking, melt the beeswax in a saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining 3/4 cup butter to the melted wax and stir until the butter is melted. Remove the mixture from the heat and, using a narrow pastry brush, carefully coat the inside of 18 (2 by 1-inch) canneles molds. (Dedicate this brush to canneles making because the wax will get into the brush.) If the wax mixture starts to set up or thicken, return it to the heat for a moment until it thins.
  • Remove the batter from the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before baking it.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place the waxed canneles molds on a heavy baking sheet with a rim to prevent any wax and butter that melts from the molds from dripping onto the bottom of your oven and creating a fire hazard. Fill the molds 3/4 full with the batter, whisking the batter frequently and well to ensure that the sugar and flour remain evenly distributed.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the surface of the canneles is dark brown. Remove from the oven, being very careful not to spill any of the hot wax on yourself. (It is wise to keep children and pets out of the kitchen during this part of the process.) Using tongs or an old towel, pick up each mold and tap it upside down to remove the canneles. If it doesn't come out after a few taps, using a paring knife to loosen it from the sides. And...viola! Serve warm from the oven.

CANELéS DE BORDEAUX - FRENCH RUM AND VANILLA CAKES



Canelés De Bordeaux - French Rum and Vanilla Cakes image

Canelés de Bordeaux, also know as cannelé Bordelais, are magical French bakery confections, little fluted cakes with a rich rum and vanilla interior enclosed by a thin caramelised shell. This brilliant recipe was developed a long ago by an anonymous Bordeaux cook, whose innovation has been subjected to 300 years of refinements. Glossy and dark brown almost black at first sight, bittersweet at first bite, the crunchy burnt sugar canelé-shell makes an exquisite contrast to the smooth, sweet filling, fragrant with vanilla and rum. These little cakes have recently gained cachet after years of neglect, to the extent that they may one day rival the popularity of crème brûlée in the category of caramelized French desserts. Baked in special tin-lined copper moulds, these delicious dessert cakes are often served with Cognac and Wine if you partake of a local degustation! The copper moulds are quite hard to find even in France - if you cannot find them, then these cakes can be made in individiual dariol moulds, small pudding basins, or the silcon moulds which are quite easy to find. This recipe makes 12 to 16 canelés, depending on the size of your moulds. Traditionally beeswax is used to line the moulds, I have dispensed with this and have suggested a sprinkling of sugar inside the well buttered moulds.

Categories     Dessert

Time P1DT1h20m

Yield 12-16 Canelé de Bordeaux

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 liter milk
2 whole eggs, plus
2 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 vanilla beans or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 -4 tablespoons rum
1 cup plain flour
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
butter, for greasing
sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • The day before: boil the milk with the vanilla and butter.
  • Take off the heat, allow to cool VERY slightly.
  • Mix the flour and sugar together, then add the eggs and egg yolks, pour this mixture in the hot milk.
  • Gently mix in order to obtain a fluid and smooth mixture, like a pancake batter, let it cool, then add the rum.
  • Place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours to 48 hours maximum.
  • When you are ready to bake the caneles: preheat the oven to 250C/495°F.
  • Butter the moulds liberally and then sprinkle some sugar in to the moulds.
  • Pour the batter in to the buttered and sugared caneles moulds, they should be 3/4 full - NO more.
  • Place the moulds on a baking sheet, and cook on high for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 175C/350F and continue cooking for 1 hour at least. (It depends on your oven, it can take up to 1 and a quarter hours!) The tops will have a brown crust when they are ready, and they should still be moist inside.
  • Carefully unmould them whilst they are still hot. Allow them to cool.
  • Serve with tea or coffee for breakfast, or with a glass of wine or cognac in the late afternoon or evening.

CANELéS



Canelés image

A canelé is a cork-shaped pastry from Bordeaux, which has a caramelised crust and soft middle. These impressive desserts are well worth the effort

Provided by Dominique Ansel

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

470ml full-fat milk
50g good-quality French unsalted butter
½ vanilla pod , split lengthways and seeds scraped out
230g granulated sugar
1 medium egg and 2 medium egg yolks, beaten
50ml dark rum
120g plain flour
beeswax (available from amazon.co.uk), melted, to grease the moulds (if they are copper)

Steps:

  • Make the batter a day in advance. Put 160ml milk, the butter, the vanilla pod and seeds, and 20g sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Remove from the heat and let cool to about 38C or until lukewarm to the touch - too cool and the butter will congeal, too hot and the eggs will start to cook.
  • Whisk in the egg mixture until incorporated, then mix in the rum and the rest of the milk.
  • Mix the flour, remaining sugar and 1/2 tsp salt together in a bowl. Whisk in the liquid in thirds, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl between additions. Avoid over-whisking: too many air bubbles will result in dry canelés. The batter should have the same consistency as double cream.
  • Strain the batter through a sieve into an airtight container. Press clingfilm directly onto the surface of the batter to prevent a skin from forming. Close the lid tightly and chill in the fridge overnight to rest the batter.
  • Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Warm eight (or 16 if you have them) 5cm canelé moulds on the middle shelf in the oven for 5-10 mins. This helps to give the canelés a crunchy, caramelised exterior.
  • Brush the moulds with a thin layer of melted beeswax (too much will cause the mixture to spill out during baking). Wring the clingfilm of any mixture that sticks to it, then gently mix to recombine ingredients that may have settled overnight. Do not overmix, or you risk incorporating too much air. The more uniform the batter, the better the final product.
  • Fill each mould with batter. Be sure to leave 0.5cm at the top - when the canelé bakes, it will rise slightly and then sink, so it is important to account for this.
  • Put the moulds on a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf for 10-15 mins. Rotate the tray by 180 degrees, reduce oven temperature to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and bake for 30-35 mins. (Baking time can vary depending on your oven.) Keep an eye on the canelés' colour during the final mins to avoid over- or under-baking. The bottom should be a deep maple syrup colour.
  • Remove the canelés from the oven, let sit for 10 mins, then turn the moulds upside down and gently tap the base until the canelé drops out. Cool completely before serving.

Tips for the Best Cannelés de Bordeaux

  • Follow the recipe precisely: Cannelés de Bordeaux are a delicate pastry, and the measurements and technique are crucial for success.
  • Use a copper mold: If you have one, a copper mold will help you achieve the signature crispy exterior and tender interior of cannelés.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cannelés tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) will allow the flavors to develop and the flour to absorb the liquid.
  • Preheat the oven: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking the cannelés. This will help them rise properly.
  • Don't open the oven door: Opening the oven door during baking will cause the cannelés to fall.
  • Let the cannelés cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and develop their full flavor.
