Christmas Cookies #8: Canelés (Cannelés) de Bordeaux

These traditional French pastries are perfect for any festive occasion. The unique flavor and texture will transport you to the charming streets of Bordeaux. Let’s get started on making them!

Canelés de Bordeaux ### Ingredients:

2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dark rum
A pinch of salt

Instructions:

In a saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and yolks. Mix until smooth.
Slowly pour in the warm milk mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract and dark rum, and mix again.
Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. This will help develop the flavors and improve the texture.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease the canelé molds with butter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Pour the chilled batter into the prepared molds, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until they are deep golden brown and have risen beautifully.
Let the canelés cool in the molds for about 10 minutes before carefully removing them. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Enjoy your homemade Canelés as they are, or pair them with a warm cup of tea or coffee!

The delightful combination of textures in these Canelés makes them a must-try. This festive season, share your treats with family and friends, and experience the joy of bringing a little piece of Bordeaux into your kitchen!
