RÉMY MARTIN® CANNELÉS
Recipe for 12 cannelés
1. CANNELÉS DOUGH
1 000 g milk
20 g coffee beans
55 g whole eggs
120 g egg yolks
500 g brown sugar
250 g flour T55
50 g dry butter 82%
100 g Rémy Martin® Cognac 50% vol.
Total weight: 2 095 g
- In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil. Add coffee beans and leave
to brew for 30 minutes. Correct the weight obtained to 1 000 g. - Add butter and heat gradually to 60°C to melt butter.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together flour and sugar.
- Proceed as a pancake batter: pour gradually the first mixture
in the mixing bowl to incorporate the powders into the liquid
mass. When the dough thickens, add liquid. - Mix together whole eggs and egg yolks before adding to the
previous preparation. - Add Rémy Martin® Cognac.
- Mix to standardize the mixture.
2. MATURATION
No ingredients.
Place the preparation to 4°C in the refrigerator for a minimum
of 48 to 72 heures.
This important step gives the desired texture: a dough viscous,
a little elastic.
This maturation time allows to optimize the texture and the
aromas.
3. MOLD AND BAKING
No ingredients.
With a brush, line slighly the inside of the Teflon® 12-unit
mold, on a rack.
Before filling the mold, mix gently the mixture with a maryse
or a whip.
Fill with dough 1 cm from the edge.
Bake to 170°C in a ventilated ovent for 50 or 55 minutes.
Check the colouring: the collar and the base must be uniformly
coloured. The very caramelized side of the crust brings all the
taste of the cannelé.
Unmold gently.
Let cool before tasting.
