OUR STORY
Rumor has it that when the monks of Bordeaux clarified wine with egg whites, they handed the leftover yolks to the good sisters, who mixed them with milk, butter, sugar, flour and a bit of rum in little beeswax-coated copper molds that sat in the fire for hours and hours.
The result was a myteriously delicious pastry - crunchy and caramelized on the outside, and custardy on the inside.
"Like a portable creme brulee" is how one French chef described it. We think "instantly addictive" is how you'll describe it!
If you have never heard of the canelé before, you are not alone! Because they take 48 hours, 18 steps and specialized equipment to make, the artisanal caneleé is the unicorn of French pastry.
At Cafe Canelé we took the traditoinal French recipe and added an American accent, creating the delectable canelé de Bordeaux in a whole array of sweet, savory, and seasonal flaovrs, plus the mysteriously delicious mni-canelé cancans, perfect to pair with coffee, tea or wine!
And at just 149 calories for a large Classic Vanilla canelé, and 49 calories for a Classic Vanilla mini cancan., you can indulge in good conscience!
