Canneles Part 1




I have been reading about Canneles for some time now. They are basically a type of small cake with a crunchy carmelized exterior and custardly vanilla/rum flavoured interior. Usually made with a specially shaped mold with fluted sides.
Not having the molds as yet I used muffin pans and a popular recipe by Paula Wolfert http://www.paula-wolfert.com/recipes/canele.html .

Many claim that they are amongst the most challenging baking item to make.
As usual I am unable to find anywhere offering them here in Trinidad, so the next best thing is to make them and imagine what a real one would taste like.

Being able to achieve consistent results with macarons I couldn't resist trying.

Mines came out pretty good, did them at 390 for 1:15

I should be getting a set of molds this weekend and will attempt again.
