Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the milk with the vanilla bean and seeds to 122F (50C). Turn off the heat, add the chopped chocolate, and let it melt, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, honey, beaten eggs, and egg yolks together until thick and pale in color.
  3. Combine the flour and cornstarch together and add to the egg mixture. Fold them in until the batter is perfectly smooth.
  4. Pour the chocolate milk into the batter and whisk to combine. Next, whisk in the rum. Refrigerate the batter for 12 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to bake, melt the wax and butter and brush it lightly over the insides of the molds. Let set. Preheat the oven to 450F (230C/Gas mark 8).
  6. Remove the batter from the fridge. You will notice some solids floating at the top.
  7. Whisk the batter well until smooth and consistent.
  8. Pour the batter into the molds all the way to about 1/4" (5 mm) below the rim.
  9. Bake the caneles for 20 minutes at 450F (230C/Gas mark 8).
  10. Next, reduce the temperature to 375F (190C/Gas mark 5)and bake for another 40 minutes. The caneles should be well-risen and dark brown on top.
  11. Remove caneles from the oven. Carefully un-mold them and place them on cooling racks to cool down. Wipe the molds with paper towels, do not wash them.
  12. Serve once they cool down. See notes.
