Discover the newly launched cannelé tray that has arrived in Le Creuset stores nationwide, as well as online. Celebrate the versatility of the cannelé with a selection of savoury and sweet recipes. The possibilities are endless, from traditional rum and vanilla to moreish chocolate varieties or a delightful cheese cannelé. Cannelés are enjoyed by young and old in France and by lovers of French gastronomy around the world. As precious as madeleines to the heart of French people, cannelés are an iconic delicacy from the port city of Bordeaux where rum and vanilla from the islands were readily available. The cannelé is a soft and tender, custard-centred French pastry with a rich amber crust. Made with simple ingredients, the secret to the perfect cannelé resides in the cooking temperature and resting time.
Part of Le Creuset’s Toughened Non-Stick Bakeware range, the 12 Cup Cannelé Tray is warp-resistant, spreads heat gently and evenly, and has excellent heat retention. The tray is oven-safe up to 240°C and is finished with Le Creuset’s durable non-stick coating to easily release baked goods. Designed to create the ultimate French pastry experience at home, the 12 Cup Cannelé Tray produces fluted pastries that are delightfully fluffy inside with a perfectly caramelised exterior. Use the tray to make the traditional sweet cannelé recipe or try a savoury spin as an amuse-bouche.
RECIPE: Gruyère, basil and sundried tomato cannelé with whipped Camembert
