Classic French Financier

Delicious french financiers are beautiful cake bars in the shape of ingots, supposed to resemble bars of gold!
Well, they are gold...en brown bars of goodness! If you are a macaron fan and a madeleine fan then this is gonna blow your mind!
Delicious almond flavour enhanced by my personal touch, brown butter. They are so airy and delicious, a perfect afternoon tea pastry!

My mould is specific for making financiers, the shape is a 9,8 x 4,8 cm rectangle, this one is very similar: (paid links)

Ingredients:
165g (about 5) egg whites
60g (1/2 cup) ground almonds
splash of vanilla extract
65g (1/2 cup) A.P. flour
160g (1 1/4 cups) icing sugar
2g (3/4tsp) baking powder
pinch of salt

I already baked this three times and must say I enjoy them so much. I mostly use almond flour, hence they get really almondy and soft, but also a bit thicker but still not chunky or so. I especially love the brown butter in the recipe, this is a game changer. I will keep on doing my Financiers like this :) thank you!!

I just baked this and it’s great. I did reduce the sugar quite a bit though. It turned out just nice and I love the texture of the financiers. Thanks for sharing this recipe

I so want to make this, but I do not have the molds do u think if I make them in the cupcake (without the cupcake cases) or muffin mold would it work.

Hello there! I wanted to try your recipe. Can you include the link where I can buy the mold?

I have a question, can i add some cocoa powder for chocolate financier ??

[naadiyananthanyabdullah]

It's so difficult to find the mould in Asia. Should have bought when I was in Paris.☹️

[zebitz]

wouldn't it be easier to transfer to piping bag prior to cooling? Just pour it in while still liquid? :)

Hi. What is the substitute for ground almond ?

[chauquach]

Why do you have to brown your butter? I thought butter if you make it brown, it will be not healthy.

[kaylaxovuu]

Way too much butter in the recipe, my batter came out very liquid and butter separated from batter when chilling.

did you grind your own almonds for this?
