About

I first tried this French pastry when I was in France. They became a daily treat. I scoured the internet for recipes and combined 3 different ones to get the results.

I am still playing with oven temps & times- will update this recipe if I like the results better.

* Note when looking for canele molds- look for silicon ones to make it easier to remove them from the mold.
