Delicious french financiers are beautiful cake bars in the shape of ingots, supposed to resemble bars of gold!
Well, they are gold…en brown bars of goodness! If you are a macaron fan and a madeleine fan then this is gonna blow your mind!
Delicious almond flavour enhanced by my personal touch, brown butter. They are so airy and delicious, a perfect afternoon tea pastry!

My mould is specific for making financiers, the shape is a 9,8 x 4,8 cm rectangle, this one is very similar: (paid links)

  1. Why do you have to brown your butter? I thought butter if you make it brown , it will be not healthy.

  2. Hi, Nicky🌹 i made it , W0o0o0oW AWESOME ,TASTY, NICE
    Thank you for sharing🙏🏻❤❤
    I have a question , can i add some cocoa powder for chocolate financier ??

  3. Way too much butter in the recipe, my batter came out very liquid and butter separated from batter when chilling.

  4. I so want to make this, but I do not have the molds do u think if I make them in the cupcake (without the cupcake cases) or muffin mold would it work.

  5. Hello there! I wanted to try your recipe. Can you include the link where I can buy the mold?

  6. wouldn't it be easier to transfer to piping bag prior to cooling? Just pour it in while still liquid? 🙂

  7. I just baked this and it’s great. I did reduce the sugar quite a bit though. It turned out just nice and I love the texture of the financiers. Thanks for sharing this recipe

  8. I already baked this three times and must say I enjoy them so much. I mostly use almond flour, hence they get really almondy and soft, but also a bit thicker but still not chunky or so. I especially love the brown butter in the recipe, this is a game changer. I will keep on doing my Financiers like this 🙂 thank you!!
