#entertainingwithbeth #CookingChannel #easyrecipes Join me for an unboxing of my New cookbook “Entertaining 101: 101 Recipes Every Host Should Know How To Make” as well as a recipe for yummy Financier Cookies from France!

PRE-ORDER BOOK HERE:
https://geni.us/Entertaining101

This book is a compilation of the top 101 recipes I believe everyone should know how to make, from a classic Christmas Dinner to a casual brunch. These recipes are my go-to favorites that I turn to time and time again because they involve minimum effort but deliver maximum impact.
Let’s face it: entertaining can be stressful enough, so the recipes should not be hard!
This book will guide you through a year of seasonal entertaining, including drinks, appetizers, mains, sides, brunch dishes, and desserts.

Why You’ll Love This Book:
* There is a photo of every recipe!
* Each recipe has a notes section for tips and tricks to help you achieve success!
* Each recipe has a “Make-Ahead Game Plan” to identify things you can prep beforehand.
* Each recipe has a “Pairs well With” section that leads to other recipes in the book that pair well with each other, helping you create menus.
* Or leave the planning to me! The back of the book has eight seasonal menus, from Thanksgiving to Mother’s Day, designed using recipes from the book and complete with game plans to help you manage the prep.
* I also include entertaining advice on how to keep your cool while entertaining, how to build a collection of plates, flatware, and serving pieces, how to deal with awkward situations that will arise, and lots of fun personal stories from my own parties!
* The book also comes with a snazzy book ribbon to help mark your place! (One of my favorite little details!)

BETH’S FINANCIER RECIPE
Makes 15 mini financiers
*Print Recipe Here*https://entertainingwithbeth.com/financier-recipe/

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
1/2 cup (60 g) almond flour
2 Tablespoons (20 g) All-Purpose Flour
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup (76 g) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon (5 ml) Pure almond extract
3 egg whites
2 Tablespoons (9 g) sliced almonds

METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) * (see notes).
Place a small skillet on medium-high heat and melt the butter.

Swirl the butter around the pan until it starts to turn amber in color. Caramelized brown bits will form at the bottom. Once this happens, remove it from the heat immediately. You do not want those brown bits to turn black. If that happens the butter unfortunately has burned and you’ll need to start again (burnt butter will not taste like browned butter)

Transfer the butter (and all the brown bits! This is where the flavor is) to a heat-safe bowl. Add the almond extract, whisk to combine and set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl sift together the powdered sugar, almond flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Set aside.
Add the browned butter to the dry ingredients and whisk together until a sticky paste forms.

Then add half the egg whites, whisk to combine, and loosen the paste. Then add the remaining half of the egg whites and whisk to combine until a sticky, smooth batter forms.

Place a 1-gallon Ziploc bag over a tall drinking glass (or 2-cup Pyrex pitcher).

Transfer the batter to the bag. Twist the bag, and push the batter down into one of the corners of the bag.

Snip off a very tiny amount of the corner to create a small piping hole.

Pipe the batter into the 15-piece financier mold almost to the top (leave about 1/8 of an inch to allow for rising)

Then smooth out the batter with the back of a teaspoon to create an even layer.

Top with a few sliced almonds and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and risen.

Allow to cool, then remove the little cakes from the mold by pushing them up out of the mold, from the bottom.

Once cooled store at room temperature in an airtight container.

NOTES: My preference is to use the convection setting if your oven has this feature. They come out beautifully golden brown with even color all around. In this case set the oven for 325F (170C) for convection heat.
