- 115 g unsalted butter
- 60 g almond flour
- 30 g all-purpose flour
- 120 g powdered sugar
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
How to make Financiers aux Amandes
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease and flour a 12-cavity financier mold (or mini muffin tin if a financier mold is unavailable).
- Prepare the beurre noisette (brown butter): Melt 115g unsalted butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams, then turns golden brown, and smells nutty. Immediately remove from heat and pour it through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl, leaving any dark solids behind. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 60g almond flour, 30g all-purpose flour, 120g powdered sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk 4 large egg whites until just frothy. Do not whip them to peaks.
- Add the frothy egg whites and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gradually add the slightly cooled brown butter to the batter, stirring until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. The batter will be relatively thin.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared financier molds, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. You can use a small spoon or pour from a pitcher.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are lightly set and spring back when gently touched. They should have a slightly domed top.
- Remove from the oven and let the financiers cool in the molds for 5 minutes before carefully inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Financiers are best served the same day.
