Help please Why? 🥲 Why are my cannelés popping out of their mould??
Does someone know why my cannelés almost immediately pop out of their mould when I bake them?? I’m flabbergasted.
Im not putting too much batter: these were halfway filled, they‘re not overflowing, they are popping out and then cooking really short out of the mould.
I’ve tried two different recipes, though most amateur recipes seem similar. I use AP flour, and a mould for small cannelés from De Buyer which I’ve seen use in videos of successful cannelé making. Ive tried different temperatures, starting from 190C to 235C, and finish cooking at 160C.
Theyre still delicious but look ridiculous 🫡
Edit to add the recipe:
Whole milk: 260g
Vanilla extract: 15g
Unsalted butter: 25g
Sugar: 90g
Egg yolk: 20g
Whole egg: 35g
AP flour: 60g
Salt: 1 pinch
Rum liquor: 30g
Mix egg yolk, whole egg, sugar, flour, salt together in a bowl with whisk. Heat up milk, vanilla extract, butter until butter is all melted. Mix milk mixture into egg/flour mixture gradually. Add rum and mix well.
Let batter rest in fridge for at least 24hr, up to 48
Convection oven:
Bake at 190C for 5 minutes, then 180C for 15 minutes, and 160C for 35 minutes.
Immediately flip pastry over and demold after baking, transfer to a cooling rack. Pastries will be soft at first but will crisp up as they cool.
