The recipe I use is Gale Gand's from her Just a Bite book. There are many different recipes out there. I absolutely love them.

Ingredients for 12 cannelés

• 500 ml (2 cups) milk, heated to 50° C (122° F)
• 2 egg yolks + 1 whole egg
• 1 vanilla bean
• 125 g (1 1/4 cups) flour
• 30 ml (2 tbsp.) canola oil
• 220 g (1 cup + 1 tbsp.) granulated sugar
• 50 g (7 tbsp.) icing sugar
• 40 ml (8 tsp.) amber rum

For the molds

• 100 g (1 cup) flour
• 50 g (7 tbsp.) icing sugar
• Butter

The day before:

1. Boil the milk with the vanilla bean (split in half) for a few minutes; remove from the heat and let cool to about 50° C (122° F).
2. Beat the whole egg and the yolks with the sugar; blend in the warm milk.
3. Let rest for 1 hour, then remove the vanilla bean.
4. Add the sifted flour, oil and rum; pour into a bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight.

Baking day:

1. Preheat the oven to 170° C (340° F).
2. In a small bowl, combine the flour and icing sugar.
3. Butter the molds; fill them with the flour-sugar mixture; turn them over on the table and tap sharply so that only a thin layer remains in each mold.
4. Fill the molds three-quarters full with the batter prepared the day before; bake for 90 minutes. Don't worry if your cannelés have a "burnt head" - it's normal for them to be very brown. They are done when the tip of a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Important: don't forget to unmold your cannelés as soon as they come out of the oven; otherwise they'll stick to the molds and break.
