Can You Canelé?: Classic Canelé and Canelés with a Twist

By Carline Senesie

Canelé, a traditional cork-shaped pastry from the region of Bordeaux, France, taste like crème brûlée on the palate. Its crispy and caramelized exterior hides a rich, custardy interior. Canelé are the perfect accompaniment to coffee or tea and, of course, the definition of deliciousness.
Carline Senesie, who baked her first canelé in 2014 after finding a recipe on a French website, shares an innovative presentation of recipes that, while respecting and maintaining the integrity of the pastry, stretch the original version into thirty-six bewitching flavors that include nutty, matcha, black sesame, cherry berry hibiscus, malted milk, bananas foster, cookies and cream, and popcorn. While following the traditional two-two-two method of preparation, Senesie also includes photographs and valuable information on tools and molds that will lead both novice and seasoned bakers on a flavorful journey to experience canelé in an entirely new way.
Can You Canelé? is a collection of original recipes that tweak the classic version of this delightful pastry to provide new flavor options for bakers around the world.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To my husband and daughters who support me in everything I do.

To my aunt, (tante Dodo), who gave me the love of good pastry,

and taught me everything about baking. I can’t think of a better

way to honor her memory other than to write this cookbook.

And finally, to my friends and coworkers who were my

willing taste testers and my first customers.
