Caramelized crust, creamy center—perfection redefined!
The Best Canele Recipe:
1. Prepare the Milk Mixture: In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter, and vanilla extract over medium heat until the butter melts. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, gently whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour the warm milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, and sugar until evenly distributed.
4. Create the Batter: Slowly pour the milk-yolk mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until smooth and lump-free.
5. Add Flavor: Stir in the rum and orange liqueur. Mix until fully incorporated.
6. Rest the Batter: Pour the batter into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or up to 48 hours for the best texture.
7. Prepare the Batter: Remove the batter from the refrigerator. Stir well and allow it to come to room temperature for about 1 hour.
8. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C).
9. Grease the Molds: Generously grease the canelé molds with butter.
10. Fill the Molds: Pour the batter into the molds, leaving about ¼ inch (5 mm) from the top.
11. Bake: Place the molds in the oven and bake for 25 minutes at 430°F (220°C). Then, lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
12. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked canelés from the molds and let them cool before serving. Enjoy the caramelized crust and custard-like interior!
