Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 80 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns a golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma, about 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Once browned, remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve to remove any sediment. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and egg whites. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is just frothy and pale, about 2 minutes.
Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg white mixture using a spatula until well incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly fold in the browned butter until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Grease a muffin tin or financier molds with butter, or line them with baking paper.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the financiers are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the molds for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these nut-free financiers as a delightful treat with tea or coffee.
