thumb|A canelé cut open, showing the contrast between exterior and interior. A large air pocket can be caused by several variables, such as excess egg white, unrested batter, or incorrect temperature. A canelé (; ) is a small French pastry flavoured with rum and vanilla, having a soft and tender, custardy centre and a dark, thick, caramelized crust. It takes the form of a small, striated cylinder up to five centimetres in height, with a depression at the top. A specialty of the region around Bordeaux in southwestern France, today it is widely available in pâtisseries in France and abroad.
