RECIPE FOR BORDEAUX CANNELÉS

This recipe for Bordeaux cannelés without alcohol has been carefully adapted for 45mm molds, the size that allows for the most even texture and baking in home use, while remaining perfectly accessible to the whole family. The art of the cannelé lies in mastering several crucial factors: a dough enriched with butter and generously flavored with intensified Bourbon vanilla to compensate for the absence of rum, with a smart adjustment of the milk volume, a prolonged rest of at least 24 hours that allows the flavors to blend and the texture to develop, a meticulous lining of the molds to ensure that incomparable caramelization, and a two-stage baking at a very high initial temperature. This traditional Bordeaux technique creates the legendary crunchy crust while preserving a tender and honeycombed heart. Each cannelé becomes a small culinary work of art, with its golden almost black flutes and its enchanting vanilla scent that fills the whole house during baking, without any trace of alcohol.
