Ingredients

  • 2 cup milk(full-fat)
  • 2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp cardamom(ground)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 pcs eggs(large, yolks only)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour(sifted)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter(melted, plus extra for greasing molds)

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Warm milk in a saucepan over medium heat with espresso powder and ground cardamom until just simmering. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes, then strain to remove any cardamom pods if using whole.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy. Gradually whisk in the sifted flour until fully combined.
  3. Slowly pour the warm, flavored milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Stir in the melted butter.
  4. Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably 24 hours. This resting period is crucial for the cannelés' texture.

Baking

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Generously butter your mini cannelé molds; traditional copper molds work best but silicone molds are also an option.
  2. Stir the cold batter gently to recombine without creating too many bubbles, then fill each mold about two-thirds full.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes, or until the cannelés are deeply golden brown and have a firm, caramelized crust.
  4. Remove from the oven and immediately invert the cannelés onto a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their crisp exterior.
