How to cook deliciously - Financiers
1. Stage
Preheat oven to 375°. In a small pot over medium heat, melt butter. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until butter starts to turn golden and smells nutty, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small heatproof bowl. Let cool 15 minutes.
2. Stage
Brush 12 cavities of 2 (3 1/4") nonstick financier pans (or do one batch at a time) with softened butter, brushing inside and above rims of cavities.
3. Stage
In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt to break up any clumps. Add egg whites, vanilla, and browned butter and whisk until fully incorporated. Divide batter among prepared pans. Top with a few berries, pistachios, or almonds, if using.
4. Stage
Bake cakes until evenly browned and spring back when gently pressed with your finger, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then pop out of tins. Serve warm.
5. Stage
Make Ahead: Financiers can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
