- 1 1/2 cup maple sugar
- about 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, sifted

- 3 egg yolks
- 2 oz maple whisky
- Unsalted butter, melted, for baking
Method
- Use the tip of a knife to split the vanilla pod lengthwise and remove the seeds.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk with the vanilla pod and seeds. Let infuse for 15 minutes off the heat.
- Blend the maple sugar and flour in a bowl.
- In another bowl, beat the 2 eggs with the 3 egg yolks.
- Pour the warm milk over the eggs, then whisk in the flour. Add the maple whisky.
- Let this dough rest in the fridge for 24 hours.
- Take the dough from the fridge and remove the vanilla pod.
- Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F).
- Brush Bordeaux fluted moulds with melted butter, then sprinkle with maple sugar.
- Stir the dough, then pour it into the moulds, filling three quarters of the way to the top.
- Bake 30 minutes at 200° C (400° F). Reduce temperature to 150° C (300° F) and bake another 40 – 50 minutes.
- The outside of the canelés will be very dark, the insides spongy.

Your canelés will come out even crispier if you line the moulds with a mixture of 70% beeswax and 30% melted, unsalted butter.
If you don’t have canelé moulds, use a muffin tin.
