Let’s get started!
– 2 ¼ Cups Whole Milk – 1 Tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste or seeds from two vanilla bean pods – 1 ½ Cups 250 grams Granulated Sugar divided – 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter – 1 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour – 2 Eggs – 2 Egg Yolks – 4 Tbsp Vanilla Rum
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, vanilla bean paste (or vanilla bean seeds), half of the granulated sugar (3/4 cup), and unsalted butter. 2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and the remaining granulated sugar (3/4 cup). 4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolks until smooth. 5. Gradually whisk in the flour mixture until smooth and well combined.
6. Slowly pour in the warm milk mixture, whisking continuously, until the batter is smooth and well combined. 7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop and the flour to fully hydrate.
8. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the cannelé molds on a baking sheet and place in the oven to preheat. 9.. Remove the preheated molds from the oven and brush them with melted butter, ensuring each mold is thoroughly coated. 10. Fill each mold about 3/4 full with the chilled batter.
11. Place the filled molds back in the oven and bake at 450°F (230°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cannelés begin to rise and form a crust. 12. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 50-60 minutes, or until the cannelés are deep golden brown and crispy on the outside.
13. Remove the cannelés from the oven and let them cool in the molds for a few minutes. 14. Carefully remove the cannelés from the molds and let them cool completely on a wire rack. 15. Serve the cannelés at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy!
