Ingredients

• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 90 grams Almond flour
• 25 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 120 grams Powdered sugar
• 3 large Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 30 grams Almond slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a financier or muffin pan.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns a golden brown, becoming beurre noisette. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve to remove any solid particles. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt, whisking them together until well blended.

Step 4

In a separate clean bowl, lightly beat the egg whites with a fork until frothy but not stiff. Incorporate the egg whites into the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, and then gradually mix in the melted browned butter. Make sure the butter is not too hot to prevent curdling the batter. Mix until you get a smooth batter.

Step 6

Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared financier or muffin pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle the tops of each financier with almond slices for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the financiers cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
