These small pastries are made from eggs, milk, flour, butter, sugar and rum in special molds that make them look like a tall mini bundt cake (but they don&#8217;t have a hole in the middle).  I first came across them almost two decades ago when I started researching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/int\/bordeaux\/\">Bordelaise cuisine<\/a>.  For years, I considered making them until finally giving up on the idea &#8211; buying a mold for something I&#8217;d only make once seemed too wasteful.  Still, my curiosity about them stayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then a week ago, I found that Costco was selling these &#8220;Made in France&#8221; canel\u00e9s. They were quite expensive, almost $10 for a package of 16 (each weighing a bit over 1 oz), but I had to see what they were like.  Unfortunately, they weren&#8217;t very good.<br><br>The pastries are pretty dense, though I liked their airy, somewhat chewy consistency. They didn&#8217;t have much flavor, however.  The rum masked whatever else was there, without really adding that much.  And while I enjoyed the consistency, they were a bit too dry.  All in all, I wouldn&#8217;t get them again.  Now, if I ever find myself in Bordeaux, I might give a bakery-baked one a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canel\u00e9s are a specialty of the Bordeaux region of France.
