When the brown butter is ready, remove the pan immediately from the heating point and filter it using a fairly fine sieve. Keep the butter on the side.

In a container, sift the icing sugar then the flour, add the ground almonds, and mix everything dry to start.

Add the egg whites in two batches, while mixing them together with a spatula. Finally, add the brown butter. Reserve aside.

Traditionally, french financiers cake are rectangular and require molds on purpose. You can also use tart molds like here.

Grease the molds with a little melted butter using a brush, then garnish them with almond financier dough using a pocket fitted with a small plain nozzle.

Do not garnish to the top because the french financier cake will swell slightly during cooking. You can make between 6 and 8 almond financiers.
