FFWD - Financiers

These little cakes go perfect with tea time!  They were easy to put together, butter (lots), sugar, almond flour, egg whites and all-purpose flour.  You need to plan ahead and make the batter a day ahead and let it rest in the refrigerator. 

 
Dorie suggested adding a raspberry - I really like the added color to this rich little cake.
 
Already for tea time! 
 
Have a great weekend.  Looking forward to our Cod and Spinach Roulades next week!   My hips don't any more sweets for awhile :)

The recipe can be found on page 454 in the cookbook Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan.

  6. Did you really save time in the afternoon for tea time, Kendra? I think that's lovely and those darling little financiers with their little red addition were the perfect touch for your cake stand. Wonderful.

  8. I love the fruit in the center - I am going to have to try that sometime.

    The roulades were definitely a nice break from all the sweet :-)
