Butterscotch Cannelés

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 12-cup cannelé mold with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a cannelé mold to create the signature shell shape.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, caster sugar, and milk powder. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.

   Tip: Use a medium saucepan to prevent the mixture from boiling over.

3. 3

   Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 115°C on a candy thermometer.

   Tip: Use a candy thermometer to achieve the perfect temperature.

4. 4

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.

   Tip: Avoid overmixing the batter.

5. 5

   Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.

   Tip: Make sure the mixture is cool enough to handle.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared cannelé mold, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

   Tip: Don't overfill the mold, as the cannelés will expand during baking.

7. 7

   Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the cannelés during the last 5 minutes of baking.

8. 8

   Remove the cannelés from the oven and let them cool in the mold for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Don't touch the cannelés until they have cooled slightly.

9. 9

   Unmold the cannelés and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

   Tip: Serve the cannelés warm or at room temperature.

10. 10

    To make the butterscotch sauce, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

    Tip: Add the butterscotch chips to the melted butter and stir until smooth.

11. 11

    Add the milk and vanilla extract to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

    Tip: Be careful not to burn the sauce.

12. 12

    Drizzle the butterscotch sauce over the cooled cannelés and serve.

    Tip: Enjoy your delicious butterscotch cannelés!
