These golden honey cannelés are my go to when I want something that feels fancy but doesn't require hours in the kitchen. Honey is the star here, bringing natural sweetness and wonderful antioxidants to every bite. What I love most is how quickly they come together, taking just forty five minutes from start to finish. The recipe is genuinely simple too, using basic ingredients you probably already have at home. They're crispy on the outside and tender within, perfect for afternoon tea or impressing guests without breaking the bank.

Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
