Financiers
Financiers is a traditional French cake where the main ingredient is almonds. Financiers use egg whites as a leavening agent. The small cakes have a characteristic shape like a small rectangle. I bought my molds at Kunst og Køkkentøj. Financiers are simple and delicious, and can be easily varied with, for example, berries or chocolate. If you have leftover egg whites from another baking session, they can be advantageously frozen in a sealed bag. Just thaw them before use.
