If you're not familiar with this treat, Chow will fill you in:
I am not sure about what the concerns are that led the baker in this video to limit production to 12 canelés per day. Hmmm. The well-loved organic bakery in Paris that introduced me to canelés, on rue Daguerre, certainly produces more than 12 per day; untold masses would not be amused to encounter an empty tray by, say, 8:12 AM.
Cheri Pye (I did not make up that name) at Greenhouse Design did a really gorgeous behind-the-scenes photo tour of this bakery, Le Moulin de la Vierge, which should not be missed.Sometimes I suspect that the only thing I would like more than a perfect canelé is a perfect canelé surrounded by its friends. Luckily, my local bakery is happy to make this happen for me.
