  3. If you are interested, my latest recipe is attached. Canelé.pdf
  4. I’ve only used the individual copper molds and they measure about 55mm
  5. Pete-Fred: I was in Paris a few weeks ago and had the worst cannelé of my life. Clearly, Fait Maison on the window did not apply!
  6. 10/500° 15/350°. One was done at 15 minutes. Checked every five minutes and pulled as necessary. Last two were 30 minutes.
  7. I've taken a long break from this project but now I'm back at it. Did 10/550° and 15/350°. Really too dark. Will try 10/500°
  8. Some months ago, I was really frustrated with the process of consistently coating the interiors of the molds. Molds too hot or too cold. 50/50 to hot or too cold. I’m pleased with the method I now use. Molds are warmed in a 170° F oven. I place four or five molds on 1/8 sheet pans and only remove each from the oven when ready to coat. When I removed all of the molds at the same time, they would cool. To control the temperature of the 50/50, I use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C69CBGRQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 It’s a thermostatically controlled hot plate. I set as low as possible but sufficient to melt the mixture. i pour the 50/50 into each mold and then pour back into the warming pot. At every opportunity, I set it back on the burner. The pot is a candle wax pot. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BYHF2CG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 after coating, I remove the wax dimple at the bottom and scrape off any excess, around the mouth, with a bamboo chopstick. When coated properly, you can’t see any 50/50 inside the molds. They release perfectly. Elsie, you and I are sick!
  9. This is how we figure this out…trying different recipes and methods.
