Summary
Financiers are classic French almond cakes made with brown butter, eggs, almond flour, and almond paste. Traditionally baked in small rectangular molds that resemble gold bars, they’re prized for their rich, nutty flavor, moist crumb, and delicately crisp edges. Chloe Hodgman, pastry chef at The Girl & The Fig in Sonoma, California, shows how to make financiers elevated with two seasonal variations: chai and Anjou pear. These refined yet simple cakes are perfect for dessert, afternoon tea, or an elegant addition to any pastry spread. Find the recipe at: https://www.ciaprochef.com/almonds/financiers
