1. Brown Butter Preparation
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Melt 180 g of butter over low heat until it turns a nutty brown color and emits a slightly toasted aroma. Strain using a sieve and set aside.
2. Making the Financier Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine:
– 325 g of powdered sugar
– 150 g of almond powder
– 62 g of almond paste
– 125 g of flour
Then add:
– 30 g of linden honey
– 335 g of egg whites
Mix until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in the strained brown butter until well incorporated.
3. Baking
Pour the batter into financier molds, filling them three-quarters full. Bake at 350°F for 18 minutes, or until the financiers are golden brown. Allow to cool before unmolding.
4. Caramel Preparation
In a saucepan, melt 150 g of sugar until it turns into an amber-colored caramel. Slightly warm the 100 ml of cream. Off the heat, gradually pour the warm cream into the caramel (be cautious of splattering).
Add 40 g of butter and stir until the caramel is smooth. If desired, add a pinch of sea salt. Allow the caramel to cool slightly.
Filling
Once the financiers have completely cooled, if necessary, gently make a small indentation in the center of each and generously fill them with caramel.
