Instructions: Cardamom cannelès de Bordeaux

• For this recipe I used Mini Raggio silicone mould made by Silikomart.
  
• The recipe, even if it is simple, needs certain steps, such as placing the mixture for 24-hour in the fridge or greasing the mould. I do recommend not to change these steps.
• In a bowl, gently work eggs and egg yolks with sifted powdered sugar.
  
• Add sifted flour, cardamom and a pinch of salt and stir. Add soft butter and mix it until incorporated. Finally add milk and rum. The batter will be very liquid.
  
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  
• The next day melt some butter and let it cool down slightly. Brush your silicone moulds accurately with prepared butter. Put the moluds for half an hour in the refrigerator (important step!). Meanwhile preheat your static oven to 220 °C.
• Gently stir the batter. Fill the moulds with the batter leaving about 1 cm from the edge. Bake about 50 minutes – 1 hour (depending on the mould you use). The batter will rise and then get lower. Remove from the oven and from the moulds. The Bordeaux Cannelés should be caramelized on the outside and soft in the inside. Serve both warm and room temperature. Store in a closed container.
