For the best results, use copper canelé molds. If using a muffin tin, opt for a heavy-duty one for even heat distribution. Don't skip the resting period for the batter; it's crucial for achieving the right texture. Be patient during baking. The canelés need to be deeply caramelized to develop their signature flavor and crust. If you don't have rum, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vanilla extract or other flavored extract. Beeswax is optional but highly recommended for the authentic look and texture. You can find it at most craft stores or online.
