Finds in the Freezer

For Christmas at my grandmother's, my aunt sent us dessert we had never heard of- canneles, a French pastry/dessert. No one, other than myself, much appreciated them at the time (I think we dried them out in the oven), and my grandmother insisted I take a half dozen home- not something I had to be persuaded to do. I rediscovered them in the freezer last night, so I defrosted then heated one in the microwave. I broke through the chewy exterior into the soft, moist center, and thus began my love affair.

Tartelette has a delicious post on her blog concerning canneles. There are at least two French bakeries here in Baltimore that I must check for canneles once my frozen supply runs out.

Lovely, moist canneles

Must call my grandmother and share the discovery!
