I am French, I studied in Bordeaux back when no one outside of Bordeaux knew of canelés. This is a perfect recipe, they look really perfect. One small note, as Claire said, rest time is essential, 12h is a minimum. it does make a world of difference

My husband and I have made this recipe at least 5 times now with different flavor variations like adding orange zest, cardamom, or subbing rum for bourbon. We use nice french silicone molds and they always come out INCREDIBLE. My suggestion for adding citrus zest: rub the zest into the sugar with your fingers before adding the other ingredients to release the oils. For silicone molds, you need to bake at a higher temp, maybe 25-50F hotter, compared to copper molds. I skip the step that Claire does where she skims off the top portion of the batter after it's been rested overnight. All the vanilla bean bits tend to rise to the top so I just mix that layer back into the rest of the batter so I don't waste any of the vanilla bean. It totally bakes fine and results in a higher yield.

Ah, Canelés, this takes me back when I used to work in a French macaron café in Budapest. We baked them every morning, sometimes two batches, as people went crazy for it. Not sure if the ratio of butter and beeswax matters, but we did have a hard time to get them out sometimes. Or it could've been the thickness of the coating as everyone did it a bit differently.... We rarely had any leftovers, but when we did I took them home for my mom who fell in love with them. I might have to invest in some molds. :)

@pierrethemonkey was it Chez Dodo? I am a canelé fiend and ate them all over France when I lived in Germany. Chez Dodo’s were seriously top 2 of all the canelé I’ve ever eaten. My daughter and I visited Budapest twice and fell in love with the place. We wandered around the corner from the Basilica and saw that place, it was one of the best random finds of all our European travels.

Hi ! French from Bordeaux here 🖐!! Canelés are one of my fav', perfect with coffee. Usually when buying some people ask for their preferred texture. I usually like them well done but my parents like their canelés lighter in colour. Thanks for sharing this delicious pastry to the world.

@kindface 26 күн бұрын

I may have had caneles in the past but I really can't recall. However, I was in Japan middle of last year and my wife and I found ourselves in a NY-style pastry cafe in Tokyo for brunch, our first meal of the day. I would have found a stone delicious as I was so hungry. As someone with a weakness for plain donuts, the moment I saw my first canele (in this cafe, the caneles looked like bracelets with big beads so they looked like ring doughnuts), my curiosity got the better of me. I got one for each of us. As usual, I got a black coffee as that's my preferred drink with doughnuts. The moment I sank my teeth into the canele, I was addicted. That moment, alternating between a bite of the canele and a sip of a nice warm black coffee, was an epiphany. I'm now here watching this video (and 5 other videos just before this) to learn to make it myself because this humble Bordeaux pastry is going to be a permanent part of my life from now. So, yes, you hit the nail on the head....canele and coffee is a bit of an enlightenment.

As someone from Bordeaux, yep, canelés are the best pastry ever made

Something I appreciate about Claire Saffitz is that she manages to explain why recipes can fail and has simple solutions for those failing points. I have been working on my canele recipe for about 2 years now and would have consistently inconsistent batches. Something I never thought about was that reincorporating the batter prior to baking can incorporate air, which can cause the canele to balloon out of the molds. I would typically shake the batter vigorously before pouring it into the molds, but after watching this video I decided to hold off on that one step and instead used a spoon as Claire described. Immediately I noticed a difference. The batter didn't balloon at all for any of the 11 canele. This was my most consistent batch ever (minus one single canele that had a white top). I will definitely be buying her next book whenever that comes out!

Pound for pound, they are the most delicious pastry there is. Very unassuming because of their size and they often just don't look impressive if they amongst colourful and more extravagant looking cakes and pastries, but if you get one fresh, the combination of the caramelised crispy shell and soft, pillowy custard inside will stay with you.

So excited to see this video! It never occurred to me these pastries could be made at home. I remember canelés fondly from my college days in France. I'm unclear as to how the process would be different using silicone molds. The copper molds I found online are very expensive! But it would definitely be worth the experiment to try my hand at baking these using a silicone mold.

@diego_2007 Жыл бұрын

silicone is a worse conductor than copper, therefore the silicone holds will impart less of a heat shock onto the canelés, so they will have less of a crunchy, caramelised crust :)

Story goes that in the wine making region of Bordeaux, vineyards use egg whites to remove particles from the wine, leaving them with a lot of egg yolks. Bordeaux was also a huge port, bringing in exotic goods such as rum and vanilla from their colonies, thus giving you the building blocks of a canelé...
