How to Make Canelés Just as Good as a Patisserie

Canelés are the pinnacle of French patisserie: a simple batter is transformed with a little technique (and a dedicated mold) into a crispy and custardy pastry with a honeycomb crumb and a deeply burnished, caramelized crust. Even though croissants and éclairs seem to be everywhere in the U.S., canelés (especially good canelés) are surprisingly difficult to find. But you don’t have to wait for a great pâtissier to set up shop nearby; this recipe gets you picture-perfect and texturally incredible canelés, and you can make them anytime you like. In this video, Grant Crilly demonstrates how to make the batter, season and coat the canelé molds, and bake them in two stages to achieve the perfect crunchy crust and chewy interior.
