How to Make Caneles | All My Tips and Tricks!

Canelés are a classic French pastry with a crispy, caramelized shell and a rich, custardy interior. These mini cakes are as delicious as they are beautiful with their glossy exterior. While they can be a little tricky to make, they make for a wonderful weekend baking project! This video is by popular request and over a YEAR in the making! Canelé are actually really simple to make as long as you know ALL the tips and tricks including which typeof prep you need the the two different types of moulds. I hope this video encourages you to make these incredibly delicious desserts; they are worth it!

When we went to Bordeaux in April my wife found these little beauties. So, I made a batch last week for the first time. They came so, so perfect! Yes, the coating and baking is the key. My second batch wasn't as perfect, but, like you say in this vid, "they'll still taste good."

[@PackagedFoodGourmet]

These look gorgeous, and I appreciate that you showed the challenges of making a perfect recipe!

I moved to the SW of France in February 2020. I live about an hour from Bordeaux. My sister is a fabulous cook and baker so for her birthday that year, I sent her a set of antique molds and she loves them! I love walking by the shops that have so many different sizes! Teeny tiny ones and HUGE ones!

[@felixnguyen6834]

i like it when you talk history during the baking

[@jp1892]

Actually, the history of the cannelé cannot be confirmed, but it was most likely invented around the 18th century. Also, the spelling canelé should be reserved for the delicacies made in the region Bordeaux, others should spell it cannelé (not that too many people would care).

[@celinedavis2189]

I started attempting Canales about 15 years ago. Some a bit successful, some not. I even bought the authentic molds eventually. Really loved your video. Never have seen anything as informative before. I used to buy them at Ken's Artisan Bakery in Portland, Oregon, so when mine didn't turn out so well, I had a fallback. You are giving me incentive to dig out the bee's wax and give it another shot. Thanks.

[@alexanderarreaga5421]

Hands down my favorite dessert to make!! Canales have inspired my next vacation. I want to start off in San Sebastian in the Basque country for burnt basque cheesecake, which I love making as well. Then drive to Bordeaux, France from San Sebastian to have canales, and compare to mine.

Oh, it makes me happy to see a recipe for cannelés! They're the signature cakes of my hometown ( Bordeaux ). They look delicious, congratulations on creating this recipe!😃

[@wholeNwon]

Kudos for spelling the name correctly but, at some point, 88 chefs in your area gathered to standardize the recipe and chose to omit an "n" to reflect the uniqueness of their final effort. You are likely aware of all this and perhaps a lot more of the long history of this pastry, but others reading comments might not be. It's not by accident that they arose in Bordeaux.

[@PreppyKitchen]

Oh thank you! You must have SUCH good cannelés there!

[@mgtly6404]

@@wholeNwon Yes, that's exactly it. It's rare for people to notice! I think they almost wanted to put some kind of "brand" on these cakes by doing this.

cooking times are hotter than expected, 260C for 15, then 205C for 45 minutes to an hour, I have copper, debuyer elastomoules (metal powder silicone), and steel carbon moulds. It can be a headache knowing which advice to listen to making caneles when everybody has slightly different recipes and materials. Will definitely try this one!

[@tb1826]

Inlove these and make them all the time. I’ll be trying this recipe (slightly different than the one I use). I don’t have canele cups and can never find beeswax, so I use a muffin pan and combine butter and honey to grease. Not as pretty, but delicious.

[@ObčasnýBlogger]

Thanks a million for a wonderful video. Ive got several questions: Any experience with silicon mould? Any suggestion how to greese/season it? As concerns the non-stick mould, do you put it into a freezer after easoning it? And then, do you grease the moulds every time you use it again? How do you wasch it? Using liquid or plain water, regardless of the oil rudiments?

[@angeliqueuwingabire5210]

[@omelbnat581]

وصفة رائعة أحببتها

[@hchunwen]

Hi John! Thanks for sharing all the great tips ☺️ I tried the recipe but unfortunately the Caneles seem to shrink to about 2/3 or less of the mould (I use the muffin tin from chef made as well and poured 60g into each mold) and the Caneles at the centre of the pan seem to brown faster than those at the sides (so the ones in the centre has a burnt taste but are crispy, while the ones at the side are not as crispy but tastes alright). Did you happen to experience this and how did you rectify it?

[@Venge7]

Manufacturer for the canele mold (copper/tin) says not to use at temperature higher than 445 F because of tin melting point. Have you found it safe for the tin at 500 F with the batter in? Thank you for your time.

[@user-sx6rc7wq5c]

it spells canneles, recipe from Bretagne, France. it is delicious.

[@user-sx6rc7wq5c]

recipe is from Bordeaux, france, not britanny... sorry. still delicious

[@thewhitehorsefarm]

Though you did a great job (congratulations!) I doubt I’ll ever do this.

[@marksieber4626]

This is definitely for advanced students. It seems there should be a cast iron mold for that. Maybe one with copper inlays. Wonder if Le Creuset or Staub might make one. Then you could preheat the cast iron.

[@Maiasatara]

Someone mentioned Portuguese bakes so I'm requesting Queijadas de Graciosa (filling similar to a dulce de leche) and Bolos (larger, sweeter, softer English muffin/crumpet style individual bread which I think is fried and then baked.) These Canelé might be too finicky for me, and I LOVE making Macarons with Italian meringue! Might even tackle Cronuts first...

[@kindface]

These look perfect to me! I judge them mostly by the inside. Yours look evenly and PROPERLY cooked - the insides are not mushy-wet, unlike another YT video I'd just watched before yours where the female host got hers (different variants) all mushy-wet and not only did she claim they were just the way she loved them but even a Bordeaux native commented that it was "perfect". How can that be perfect ??? I don't know: the first time I had caneles in my life wasn't in Bordeaux but I really find it hard to believe that the perfect canele is mushy-wet inside instead of being properly cooked to a soft most (but not wet) sponginess. Anyone who reads this comments and knows definitively please let me know how the perfect canele should be on the inside - mushy wet and hence less spongy or well cooked to a soft, moist (but not wet) sponginess (like in this video)?

[@CeliaAnna]

OMG so I have ALL Of your cookbooks! Is this in your last one? If so, I missed it!

I bought some copper molds but forgot to season them, and of course, they stuck. Are they usable if I clean them and season them before the next baking?
