Recette: Cannelés bordelais

A lucky few Chouchous* were able to get their hands on the genuine article recently at one of the Lingua Franca Summer Schools, so what’s so special about cannelés?

A speciality of the Bordeaux region, the cannelé is a delicious rum-and-vanilla flavoured sweet treat with a custardy centre and caramelised shell. Named for their pretty fluted cylinder shape (‘canelé’ or ‘cannelé’ is the French word for ‘fluted’), cannelés bordelais are a staple of pâtisseries from Paris to Perth.

The best part? With some common kitchen ingredients ­– and this simple *recette – they’re also *assez facile to make at home. Bonne chance (and don’t forget to bring some to your next class)!

Bon appétit*!
