Financiers (Amazing What Those French Bakers Do With The Simplest Ingredients!)


These financiers are five ingredients and a lot of preparation and totally worth it. The recipe is available on Dorie Greenspan's website and also in a couple of her books. I used unblanched almond meal and pulsed it with the sugar to get it as fine as possible. Also I browned the butter and I don't think these would have nearly the same complex nutty almost smoky personality otherwise. Sort of like a muffin from Waukesha went to finishing school and moved to Paris and married a duke and took a lover from an impoverished family and got bored with it all and sold all her jewels and decided to become a muffin again.
