Why? 🥲 Why are my cannelés popping out of their mould??

Does someone know why my cannelés almost immediately pop out of their mould when I bake them?? I’m flabbergasted.

Im not putting too much batter: these were halfway filled, they‘re not overflowing, they are popping out and then cooking really short out of the mould.

I’ve tried two different recipes, though most amateur recipes seem similar. I use AP flour, and a mould for small cannelés from De Buyer which I’ve seen use in videos of successful cannelé making. Ive tried different temperatures, starting from 190C to 235C, and finish cooking at 160C.

Theyre still delicious but look ridiculous 🫡

Edit to add the recipe:

Whole milk: 260g

Vanilla extract: 15g

Unsalted butter: 25g

Sugar: 90g

Egg yolk: 20g

Whole egg: 35g

AP flour: 60g

Salt: 1 pinch

Rum liquor: 30g

Mix egg yolk, whole egg, sugar, flour, salt together in a bowl with whisk. Heat up milk, vanilla extract, butter until butter is all melted. Mix milk mixture into egg/flour mixture gradually. Add rum and mix well.

Let batter rest in fridge for at least 24hr, up to 48

Convection oven:

Bake at 190C for 5 minutes, then 180C for 15 minutes, and 160C for 35 minutes.

Immediately flip pastry over and demold after baking, transfer to a cooling rack. Pastries will be soft at first but will crisp up as they cool.

What is this thing on my Airbnb bed headboard?

There’s one on both sides of the bed. I can’t move the bed so I can’t see to what they are connected. Ofc my first thought was camera but it feels too obvious, maybe a LED?

EDIT: thanks everyone for your answers! The general consensus seems to be that it’s an IR sensor / transceiver, I did not know that was a thing! They seem to be disconnected though cause nothing happens when I’m close of touch it.

And for everyone terribly worried about my host’s property, i would never knowingly damage this place, these just pop right off and they‘re back in now ;)

I also didn‘t ask them directly because this was more curiosity about something I was unfamiliar with, not paranoia, so I didn’t want to bother them

Can a heatwave have made my pilea like this?

Hello, she lives on a table next to a window, has lots of indirect sunlight. She was thriving, but I’ve now noticed that she’s droopy and yellow. With the current heatwave, my house is often 30+ degree Celsius. Could this be making her look like this?

At some point I thought I was under watering cause the leaves were curling inwards and she was droopy, but at the same time the leaves are yellowing like crazy, which I usually take as a sign of over watering

I moved her to a window in my basement where it’s cooler

My friend got these two Pothos cuttings a year ago, and put them in a bottle. I finally saw it and was horrified 🥲 I made him change the water for the first time. Can anything be done? the cutting with the leaf is the one that does not come out of the bottle.

it gets sun from a south facing big window, but in the Uk.
