Financiers

Cooking time: 30 minutes
Servings: 15

Financiers is a traditional French cake where the main ingredient is almonds. Financiers use egg whites as a leavening agent. The small cakes have a characteristic shape like a small rectangle. I bought my molds at Kunst og Køkkentøj. Financiers are simple and delicious, and can be easily varied with, for example, berries or chocolate. If you have leftover egg whites from another baking session, they can be advantageously frozen in a sealed bag. Just thaw them before use.

Financiers

Ingredients

  • 50 g flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar
  • 125 g powdered sugar
  • 50 g almonds
  • 3 egg whites
  • 80 g butter

Instructions

  1. Chop almonds into very fine flour and mix with flour, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar.
  2. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the dry mixture.
  3. Melt butter in a saucepan until it becomes golden beurre noisette - browned butter.
  4. Add the browned butter and mix everything well together.
  5. Pour the batter into financier molds or, if you don't have such a mold, you can use a muffin tin.
  6. Bake financiers at 200°C convection for about 12 minutes.
  7. Let the cakes cool and finally sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  8. Bon appétit

This gives you a really smooth and delicious dough, and some large twists.
