How to write canelés ?

When it was created on March 24th 1985, the Bordeaux canelé brotherhood decided to adopt the spelling “canelé” with only one “n” in order to register a collective mark that would allow to differentiate the canelés made in Bordeaux from the others.
 

Who invented the canelés ?

The canelé de Bordeaux is a pastry whose origin is uncertain. A legend tells that it would have been invented by the nuns of the convent of Annonciades of Bordeaux to feed the poor. However, this story lacks concrete evidence. It is also possible that the cannelé is an evolution of the Limousin canole. Although some of the ingredients are similar, there is no definite evidence of a link between the two specialties.
 

How to keep the crispness of cannelés?

To keep the crispness of the cannelés, it is recommended to let them cool completely in the mold before taking them out, then to store them in an airtight box at room temperature and to eat them within 2 to 3 days. It is not recommended to put them in the refrigerator to avoid softening, and it is better to transport them in an airtight box without piling them on top of each other.
 

Can I freeze canelés?

Frozen canelés can be kept for up to 3 months in the freezer. To defrost them, simply take them out of the freezer and leave them at room temperature for about 2 hours before eating them. However, it is important to note that the texture may be slightly altered after thawing.
 

Copper or silicone mold? the best mold for baking canelés.

Copper molds are traditionally considered the best for baking canelés because of their high thermal conductivity. However, silicone molds can also give good results and have the advantage of being easier to clean. The choice depends on personal preference.
