Categories     Dessert     Pastry

Time P3DT2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

17.6 ounces whole milk
1 vanilla bean with the seeds scraped
1.8 ounces butter, melted and cooled
2 egg yolks
2 eggs
10.6 ounces confectioner's sugar, sifted
4.4 ounces all purpose flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 ounce dark rum
2 ounces pure beeswax
2 ounces butter

Steps:

  • 3 days before baking: In a medium-sized saucepan set over medium heat, whisk together the milk and the vanilla bean pod and seeds. Bring the milk just barely to a boil; turn the heat off when the edges begin to bubble. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and place in the fridge (pod, and all) to steep overnight.
  • 2 days before baking: Place the eggs and yolks in a bowl and break the yolks with a fork; do not whisk them. Add the melted butter, stir gently with a fork just to incorporate, and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Place a strainer over the bowl, and pour the steeped milk through the strainer; discard the pod from the vanilla bean. Press the egg mixture through the strainer with a rubber spatula, then add the rum to the bowl. Gently mix the batter with a spatula; avoid incorporating air. Wash and dry the strainer, then push the batter through the strainer with a rubber spatula. Cover the batter and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 48 hours.
  • 3 hours before baking: Set the oven to 350°F and place the metal (either copper or aluminum) canelé molds inside for 10 minutes. While the molds are heating, place the beeswax in a plastic, microwave-safe container and microwave in 30-second increments, swirling each time, until the beeswax is fully liquified. Add the butter and microwave until it has fully melted, then stir until you have a solution of butter and beeswax. (This may also be done on the stovetop in a saucepan, but because cleaning beeswax from pots is an unsavory activity, using the microwave is highly recommended.) Remove the molds from the oven and allow them to cool for 1 minute. Set up a cooling rack with plastic wrap underneath. Grasping the molds one at a time with the tongs, coat the insides of the molds with the wax mixture using a pastry brush (silicone is recommended, you will need to boil the pastry brush to get the wax off later), then invert the molds on top of the cooling rack and allow the excess wax to drip off. Once the wax has cooled back to opaque, place the molds in the freezer for 2 hours.
  • Once it's time to bake: Set a baking stone on the bottom rack of the oven and place a sheet tray on top. Preheat the oven to 500°F. When the oven is ready, remove the molds from the freezer and fill them almost to the top, leaving a centimeter of space at the top of the molds. Remove the preheated sheet tray from the oven, line with parchment, and then place the filled molds on the heated tray, spacing them evenly and far apart. Place the tray of molds onto the stone in the oven, and watch it carefully for the first 30 minutes of baking. The canelés will start to bubble, then rise up out of the molds. When they rise more than one centimeter above the rim of the molds, use tongs to remove the molds and allow the canelés to sink all the way back down into the molds, then return them to the oven. You will need to do this for the first 30-45 minutes of baking, until you notice that the canelés have developed an outer skin and a space has formed between the molds and the canelés on all sides. Once this has happened, drop the temperature of the oven to 400°F and allow the canelés to finish baking, approximately 45 more minutes (there is no exact time, since the temperature has fluctuated so much with the oven being opened and closed and the canelés spending time, as needed, out of the oven). Watch for the tops to completely turn a deep golden brown and bubble (this is the butter in the batter) around the edges and middle. When the desired color is achieved on the tops, remove one from the oven using the tongs to test. Allow it to cool for several minutes, then invert the mold onto the cooling rack. If you are pleased with the color of the canelés, then remove the rest from the oven and allow them to cool for several minutes before unmolding. If you are not, return the canelé to its mold and bake the batch longer. The canelés should cool on the rack for 30 minutes before eating, and are best if consumed no more than 5 hours after baking.

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.

Tips:

  • Make sure the canelé batter is well-chilled. This will help the canelé to rise properly and develop a crisp crust.
  • Use a nonstick canelé mold. This will help the canelé to release easily from the mold.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature. The oven temperature is critical for the success of the canelé.
  • Bake the canelé until they are golden brown and have a crispy crust. This will ensure that the canelé are cooked through.
  • Let the canelé cool slightly before serving. This will help the canelé to set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Canelé de Bordeaux is a delicious and unique French pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make canelé at home using the recipes and tips provided in this article.
