How to make canelés de bordeaux?
Share on social media:
1. Heat the milk and the butter to almost boiling. Place it aside to cool off until the mixture feels lukewarm to the touch.
2. Mix the egg yolks and whole egg with sugar, salt, and flour.
Tip: when mixing – stir, not whisk, use a large bowl.
3. Pour the milk into the flour mixture slowly, and stir in between
If not poured slowly, the milk can cook the egg yolks. You can also mix the egg yolks in a separate bowl and add them to the mixture after the milk is poured.
Add the remaining ingredients: vanilla extract, rum extract, and rum, and mix it all by stirring.
4. Sieve the mixture
Even after stirring, your batter may still contain lumps. Sieve it and place the bowl in a fridge.
Tip: cover the bowl with a stretch film, keep it in the fridge for 12 to 24 or even 48 hours. We need the gluten in the batter to relax and make the texture more uniform.
5. Grease each mold with butter
Tip: you can also use butter and beeswax mixed together. It will help form a nice crisp exterior. You can prepare the molds a few hours before you start baking.
Copper vs. silicone molds
Canelés made in silicone molds have the same taste as those made in copper molds. The texture, however, comes off better with the latter. With copper molds, the crust gets evenly caramelized and the insides – close to ideal soft-chewy balance. The choice of which canelé molds to use depends on how perfect you want your canneles and how much you are willing to spend as copper molds are notably more expensive than silicone ones.
6. Preheat the oven to 475 F (250 C)
7. Fill in 3/4 of each mold
Tip: Take the batter from the fridge and pour it into a jug so that you can fill the molds easier.
8. Shove the molds into the oven
Make sure the oven is at 480 F (250 C). After 10 minutes of baking, reduce the temperature to 350F (180C) and continue baking for 60-70 minutes more.
The caneles are finished when the outer part is brown and crispy, while the inside is soft and custardy.
Let the canneles cool before serving.
