Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and browned
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Мethod of preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a financier or muffin tin generously with butter. 2. In a large skillet, toast the almond flour over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and aromatic. Set aside to cool slightly. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, toasted almond flour, sugar, and salt. 4. In another bowl, melt the butter until browned and nutty in aroma. Let it cool before adding it to the dry ingredients. 5. Whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff. Fold them into the dry ingredients, followed by the browned butter and almond extract, mixing until well combined. 6. Gently fold in the finely chopped dried apricots, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. 7. Spoon the batter into the prepared tins, filling each mold about three-quarters full. 8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the financiers are golden around the edges and have risen slightly in the center. 9. Allow the financiers to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 10. Once cooled, dust the tops generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your Toasted Almond & Apricot Financiers with a nice cup of tea or coffee!
