Ingredients
Canelés:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup white sugar
-
4 large 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
Pan Preparation:
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 tablespoons beeswax
Directions
-
Make the canelés: Mix flour, sugar, egg yolks, rum, vanilla, and salt together in a mixing bowl with a spatula, smearing until a smooth paste forms. Continue mixing until flour is fully incorporated.
-
Combine milk and 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, then immediately remove from the heat.
-
Slowly add 1/2 of the hot milk mixture to the canelés batter, whisking quickly to avoid cooking the egg yolks. Slowly whisk in remaining milk mixture until batter is smooth and thin.
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
-
Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan: Melt butter and beeswax in a skillet over medium heat. Remove from the heat, then stir with a pastry brush. Generously brush the bottom and sides of each muffin cup.
-
Ladle canelés batter into muffin cups until almost to the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and continue baking until canelés are very well browned, about 50 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a thin blade around the sides and carefully loosen canelés from the cups. Invert onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely to room temperature to create a crispy surface.
Chef's Notes
You can use 1/8 teaspoon of fine salt instead of 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Greasing the muffin tins with the beeswax and butter mixture is essential in achieving the classic texture and crispy exterior. Use only pure food-grade beeswax without any additives.
These only stay crispy for about eight hours. So consider this fair warning if you plan to make them a day ahead. I've never tried to re-crisp them.
