Step-by-Step Instructions for French Financiers
- In a small saucepan, melt 100g of unsalted butter over medium heat until it becomes foamy and turns golden brown, about 5-8 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 5 egg whites until frothy. Slowly incorporate 150g of icing sugar until dissolved. Mix in the cooled brown butter.
- Divide the batter into three bowls and fold in 25g of almond flour, hazelnut flour, and pistachio flour into each, respectively, adding a pinch of salt to each.
- Transfer each batter into piping bags and chill for about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). Brush your financier tin with melted butter.
- Pipe the chilled batter into the molds, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Optionally sprinkle with chopped nuts and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the financiers cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes
