Steps:
- Two days before you plan to serve the dessert, combine the milk and vanilla bean in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight to infuse the vanilla flavor into the milk. The next day, melt the butter. Whisk the eggs into the chilled milk mixture, then whisk in the rum and butter. Add the sugar and flour and whisk to combine. Refrigerate overnight.
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Thickly butter your baking molds (above) and chill until the butter is firm. Whisk the batter 1 more time to mix it thoroughly and pour or ladle into the molds, filling them not quite full. Bake until very, very dark brown on the outside, about 1 hour. Check them after 45 minutes to make sure they're dark brown but not turning black. When finished, they will be very dark, caramelized and chewy on the outside, tender and eggy on the inside. While still warm, turn out of the molds.
MINI VANILLA CANELES
Steps:
- Cut the butter into small pieces and mix with the milk in a large saucepan. Split the vanilla bean in 2 pieces, scrape out the vanilla and add them to the saucepan. Set the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon, until the butter has melted and the milk starts bubbling around the edges (it shouldn't boil at all).
- Place the flour, sugar, egg and yolk in a large bowl and mix together, stirring thoroughly before adding each ingredient. Pour in the hot milk mixture slowly, gently stirring with a large silicone spatula. Let the dough cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Spray the interior of each canele mold with butter spray, then set the molds in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden the butter.
- If you choose to flavor your caneles, add some lemon, orange or lime zest to the dough at this time.
- Fill the canele molds 3/4 of the way, leaving a 1/5-inch space at the top of each cavity. Bake the caneles for 4 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 360 degrees F and bake until golden brown, about 56 minutes more. Remove the molds from the oven and immediately turn them over onto a cooling rack. Let them cool at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
CANELéS DE BORDEAUX - FRENCH RUM AND VANILLA CAKES
Canelés de Bordeaux, also know as cannelé Bordelais, are magical French bakery confections, little fluted cakes with a rich rum and vanilla interior enclosed by a thin caramelised shell. This brilliant recipe was developed a long ago by an anonymous Bordeaux cook, whose innovation has been subjected to 300 years of refinements. Glossy and dark brown almost black at first sight, bittersweet at first bite, the crunchy burnt sugar canelé-shell makes an exquisite contrast to the smooth, sweet filling, fragrant with vanilla and rum. These little cakes have recently gained cachet after years of neglect, to the extent that they may one day rival the popularity of crème brûlée in the category of caramelized French desserts. Baked in special tin-lined copper moulds, these delicious dessert cakes are often served with Cognac and Wine if you partake of a local degustation! The copper moulds are quite hard to find even in France - if you cannot find them, then these cakes can be made in individiual dariol moulds, small pudding basins, or the silcon moulds which are quite easy to find. This recipe makes 12 to 16 canelés, depending on the size of your moulds. Traditionally beeswax is used to line the moulds, I have dispensed with this and have suggested a sprinkling of sugar inside the well buttered moulds.

Steps:
- The day before: boil the milk with the vanilla and butter.
- Take off the heat, allow to cool VERY slightly.
- Mix the flour and sugar together, then add the eggs and egg yolks, pour this mixture in the hot milk.
- Gently mix in order to obtain a fluid and smooth mixture, like a pancake batter, let it cool, then add the rum.
- Place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours to 48 hours maximum.
- When you are ready to bake the caneles: preheat the oven to 250C/495°F.
- Butter the moulds liberally and then sprinkle some sugar in to the moulds.
- Pour the batter in to the buttered and sugared caneles moulds, they should be 3/4 full - NO more.
- Place the moulds on a baking sheet, and cook on high for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 175C/350F and continue cooking for 1 hour at least. (It depends on your oven, it can take up to 1 and a quarter hours!) The tops will have a brown crust when they are ready, and they should still be moist inside.
- Carefully unmould them whilst they are still hot. Allow them to cool.
- Serve with tea or coffee for breakfast, or with a glass of wine or cognac in the late afternoon or evening.
