A financier is a small, buttery, almond-flavored pastry that is similar to an almond cake but more dense and moist. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to making financiers:

Ingredients:
– 1 cup (115g) almond flour or finely ground almonds
– 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 4 large egg whites
– 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
– Optional: lemon zest, berries, or chocolate chips for variations

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line your financier molds or a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until just frothy. Gradually add them to the dry ingredients, mixing gently.
5. Add the vanilla extract if using.
6. Slowly pour the cooled melted butter into the batter, mixing until smooth.
7. Optional: fold in lemon zest, berries, or chocolate chips.
8. Fill the molds about 3/4 full with batter.
9. Bake for 12
