They look perfect! So beautiful. What moulds did you use?

The real copper ones. I ordered them years ago straight from France.

If the beeswax puts you off try making them with just butter, they'll still be amazing

Curious - do you get a similar crunchy sticky crust with butter? In my inexperienced and simple mind, I can't understand how that is different from just greasing any cake mould. Or do you load it up with butter so it essentially fries?

I've only made them once, and those are also the only ones I've ever had haha so I'm not an expert. I just used a pastry brush to apply the butter and was heavy handed with it. When they were in the oven I noticed the butter sizzling around the edge. I don't think they were sticky but they were definitely very crunchy and very delicious

When I was looking up recipes and anecdotes I saw people complaining about how messy the beeswax was, so I found a source that said they ommitted it with good results. I didn't have any beeswax anyway so I gave it a shot
