Greek Canelés with Ouzo
From the last time I was home in Crete, four years ago, I had left some of my Flexipan for the next time I visit. Although I enjoy eating out it’s nice to have a homemade treat in the afternoon. So my Canelé Tray from bonCOOK™ came in handy.
I was curious to see what would a Canelé taste like with Ouzo and it is super delicious. Everyone loved them so here is the recipe for you to try!
Enjoy & Bon Appetit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.

Greek Canelés with Ouzo
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 g) milk
- 2 1/2 tbsp (35 g) butter
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- 2/3 cup (85 g) flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp (8 g) vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp (45 g) Greek Ouzo
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, heat the milk and butter together, by stirring occasionally. Your preparation is ready once the butter has melted and that it is hot and not boiling. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, gently whisk together eggs + yolks, sugar and flour into a soft paste.
- Continue to whisk as you slowly pour the milk mixture in and continue to whisk until fully combined into a smooth liquid.
- Stir in the Vanilla and Greek Ouzo.
- Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refregirate for 2 full days (48 hours).
- On the day of baking, remove batter from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature (2 to 3 hours). Then, give it a quick and gentle stir to air the flour which has dropped at the bottom of the bowl.
- Preheat oven to 450F/240C 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the temperature to spread evenly in your oven.
- Place your Canelé Flexipat® Tray on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet.
- Using the mini ladle, pour your batter into the Flexipat® leaving about 0.5"/1cm to the top.
- Drop the temperature to 410F/210C and bake for 60 minutes. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Canelés from 55min)
- Once your Greek Canelés with Ouzo are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10min. Then, Unmold and let them cool completely before serving them. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
