Where do cannelés come from?

The most common story is that the cannelés were invented by the sisters of the Annonciales convent in the 18th century, as a variant of one of the specialties of the time. 

At the time, it was a small cake of thin dough rolled around a cane stalk and fried in lard. In 1790, the nuns were expelled from the convent. It took 40 years for the recipe to be taken up under the name Millasson. This pastry was baked in a fluted bronze mold. The recipe was then improved over time to what it is today.

Good To Know,

Originally, the canelé was spelled with two “n”, but the second “n” was deleted when the Confrérie du Canelé was created on March 24, 1985.
