Canelé builds its contrast into a small shape
Bordeaux’s canelé is a small fluted cylindrical pastry flavoured with rum and vanilla. It has a dark, thick caramelized crust and a soft centre. Judging the texture from the outside alone misses the contrast within.
One small pastry contains two different textures.
