Financiers Recipe
Financiers are small almond cakes, beautifully golden with a delightfully buttery and moist interior. They are perfect for tea-time snacking.
Equipment
- 1 Muffin tin Or specific financier molds
- 1 Mixing bowl For preparing the batter
- 1 Whisk For mixing ingredients
Ingredients
- 100 g Unsalted butter Melted and browned
- 100 g Almond meal Also known as ground almonds
- 150 g Powdered sugar
- 50 g All-purpose flour Sifted
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract Optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your muffin tin or financier molds.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and let it cook until it turns golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, powdered sugar, flour, and salt.
- Add the egg whites to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Add the cooled melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk the mixture until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them about three-quarters full.

- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the molds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For variations, you can top the financiers with a raspberry or a slice of strawberry before baking.
