Cannelés. A canelé (French: ) is a small French pastry flavored with rum and vanilla with a soft and tender custard center and a dark, thick caramelized crust. It takes the shape of a small, striated cylinder up to five centimeters in height with a depression at the top. A specialty of the Bordeaux region of France, today it is widely available in pâtisseries in France and abroad.

These French pastries are the real deal: crunchy and caramelized to a deep mahogany brown on the outside, moist and custardy within, and deeply perfumed with dark rum and vanilla bean. Cannelés are golden and crispy cakes with a custardy centre, flavoured with a hint of rum and/or vanilla. Chef John improvised with muffin tins with amazing results.

Bake the cannelés according to your recipe. To have crusty cannelés, remove them from the molds right out of the oven. Then, put the molds away without even washing them! Indeed, for an excellent unmolding over time, the molds shouldn't be wash. If some batter sticks inside the molds, simply soak them in warm water for a wile.
