A canelé is a small French pastry with a soft and tender custard center and a dark thick caramelized crust. The dessert which is in the shape of small striated cylinder approximately five centimeters in height is a specialty of the Bordeaux region of France but can often be found in Parisian pâtisseries as well. Made from egg sugar milk and flour flavored with rum and vanilla the custard batter is baked in a mold giving the canelé a caramelized crust and custard-like inside.
