You can find the minis for $4 each which is about 10x cheaper than copper (although I want a copper just to compare). Baking note - the temp recommendation is 425f for 30 minutes then 380f for 25 - try starting a bit lower. Last week I baked some really good ones just as a power outage hit which explains kinda why today's were over done - will try again tomorrow and maybe post some results and temp details ...
One of the appeals of this pastry is the caramelized crust which one by the mold has creases to expand the surface area - thisbisba great site showing results using different molds - https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/caneles--2 so yes any mold will work they're just better with the mini bundt shape. There's also different sizes the smallest is about 6cm high (my fav)
I WANT dat! I need to find some canelle molds so I can make me some.

They look like mini bundt pans I see in the store! Can you do this with any shaped pan or is it a specialty thing?
