Ingredients: (for about 6 financiers)

50 grams of flour

50 grams of almond powder

75 grams of butter

150 grams of sugar

4 egg whites

1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

a pinch of salt



PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 170°C or 340°F

The Step by Step Recipe:


  • Start by melting your butter

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, the almond powder, the sugar, and the vanilla extract

  • Once homogeneous, add your molten butter and stir (the dough will look weird and dry, this is normal!)

  • Beat your egg whites with a pinch of salt

  • Slowly incorporate the beaten egg whites into your dough. You want to go very slowly here. Take the time to work carefully. You don't want the beaten egg whites to break!



  • Pour your dough into your greased molds (small rectangular molds would be ideal, but any type of individual mold can work)

  • Cook (at 170°C or 340°F) for 15-20 minutes (usually more around 18 minutes, you want these to rise)

  • Let them cool down in their molds

  • Once a bit harden, unmold them and enjoy!



Bon appétit!


Passionately yours,

Anton
