Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup 60 g almond flour
  • 1/2 cup 60 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 120 g powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick, 113 g unsalted butter
  • 4 large egg whites room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • 1️⃣ Prep pans & oven: Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a mini muffin tin or financier molds well.
  • 2️⃣ Brown the butter: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown & smells nutty. Remove from heat & cool slightly.
  • 3️⃣ Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
  • 4️⃣ Whip egg whites: In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy (but not stiff).
  • 5️⃣ Combine batter: Stir egg whites & vanilla into dry ingredients, then slowly whisk in the browned butter until smooth. Batter will be pourable.
  • 6️⃣ Bake: Fill molds 3/4 full and bake 12–15 minutes, until golden and edges are crisp. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

  • Financiers are best served the day they’re baked but stay lovely for 2–3 days.
  • No almond flour? Blend blanched almonds into a fine meal.
