There are many different techniques used for making financiers but, as usual, I've chosen the easiest one. This recipe works beautifully with pretty much any summer fruit like berries or other stone fruit. Remember, the fruit is really just a garnish so don't use too much. These little cakes are rich, buttery, and moist.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces unsalted butter plus additional for greasing
- 3 eggs whites
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups almond meal
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting pan
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.13 teaspoons salt
- 12 small pieces of peeled peach
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter a 12-muffin mini-muffin tin. Add a pinch of flour to each cup; shake to coat bottoms.
-
2
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The melted butter will get foamy. Keep pan moving to prevent burning, but continue toasting butter until it turns golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
3
Whisk egg whites and sugar together in a large bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves and egg whites get thick and foamy, 2 or 3 minutes. Mix in almond meal, flour, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in browned butter.
-
4
Fill muffin cups almost to the cop. Tap pan to eliminate any air bubbles.
-
5
Bake 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and top financiers with small pieces of peach. Transfer pan back to oven. Continue baking until browned, 10 to 12 more minutes.
-
6
Let cool at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

The Best Bean and Ham Soup
Legume fans who enjoy 7-bean soup will love this extra beany version made with a dried 15-bean mix. I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham and serve it with corn muffins and fresh fruit. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends over or just freeze several portions for later use. Remember to soak the beans the night before you make the soup.
