Time 1h40m

Yield 12 pear financiers

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup almond flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 small pears, sliced
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

Make the browned butter: Melt 1 stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until it begins to bubble. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, swirling the pan, until the butter turns golden and smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Whisk both flours, 1/2 cup brown sugar and the salt in a medium bowl. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; stir in the vanilla. Fold in the browned butter and the dry ingredients, then cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 12-cup muffin pan. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and combine in a large bowl with the pears and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar; toss. Divide the batter among the muffin cups; top each with 3 pear slices. Bake until puffed and golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

PEACH FINANCIERS

Peach Financiers image

There are many different techniques used for making financiers but, as usual, I've chosen the easiest one. This recipe works beautifully with pretty much any summer fruit like berries or other stone fruit. Remember, the fruit is really just a garnish so don't use too much. These little cakes are rich, buttery, and moist.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 ounces unsalted butter plus additional for greasing
3 egg whites
½ cup white sugar
½ cup almond meal
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting pan
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
12 small pieces of peeled peach

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter a 12-muffin mini-muffin tin. Add a pinch of flour to each cup; shake to coat bottoms.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The melted butter will get foamy. Keep pan moving to prevent burning, but continue toasting butter until it turns golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk egg whites and sugar together in a large bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves and egg whites get thick and foamy, 2 or 3 minutes. Mix in almond meal, flour, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in browned butter.
Fill muffin cups almost to the cop. Tap pan to eliminate any air bubbles.
Bake 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and top financiers with small pieces of peach. Transfer pan back to oven. Continue baking until browned, 10 to 12 more minutes.
Let cool at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips:

Choose the right peaches. For the best flavor and texture, use ripe, juicy peaches. If you can, opt for organic peaches to avoid pesticides.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough financiers. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the batter rest. Resting the batter for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and the batter to thicken slightly. This will result in more tender financiers.
Use a hot oven. Financiers should be baked in a hot oven to create a crispy crust and a moist interior. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking.
Don't overbake the financiers. Financiers are best when they are slightly underbaked. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly financiers.
Serve the financiers warm or at room temperature. Financiers are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. If you are serving them cold, let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Peach financiers are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their delicate flavor and moist texture, these little cakes are sure to please everyone. Whether you serve them warm or at room temperature, peach financiers are a surefire hit.
