Hi, I’m Eugenie. Today I’m making beautifully delicious French petits-fours, chocolate financiers with brown butter.
For this recipe, you will need: butter, confectioners’ sugar, ground almonds, flour, eggs, walnuts, and cocoa powder.
In a thick-bottomed sauce pan add in ½ cup and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
And over medium high heat, melt the butter and bring it to a boil. And keep cooking.
When it just starts to brown immediately transfer the butter into a heat-proof cup.
The caramel flavor is fantastic.
This is beurre noisette, brown butter. And let cool.
In a mixing bowl, sift in 1 and ¼ cups of ground almond,
1/3 cup of all-purpose flour,
3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
And add in a generous pinch of salt.
And whisk to combine.
In another mixing bowl, add in 3 large egg whites and now warm beurre noisette.
And whisk to combine. Then sift in 1 1/4 cups of confectioners’ sugar, only 1/3 at a time.
Each time you add the sugar, whisk until smooth.
Now pour the dry ingredients into the wet all at once and fold until combined.
And finally fold in ½ cup of chopped walnuts. And divide the batter among the financier molds.
If you don’t have those molds, you can use a cupcake pan or any other mini molds.
Just adjust the baking time according to the size of your cake.
Bake in the oven preheated to 360 degrees F. (180 C.) for about 12 minutes.
Voila, Chocolate financiers, financiers au chocolat.
Dip in the melted chocolate and decorate with chopped walnuts if you like.
Easy yet delectable chocolate treat.
These petits-fours are perfect with coffee and tea.
Also those are great for all kinds of parties.
And I apologize because last week there was no video.
I was busy for two reasons: first I was away with family and Alex. We had really good time all together.
And secondly I was occupied with the new look of my blog. Please take a look at eugeniekitchen.com and say hello to me.
And subscribe to my blog if you want to receive new recipe by email. I will be more active on my blog.
Ok, that’s it for now. Thank you for watching. See you soon. Bye!
