Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Butter or grease a 12-count muffin tin really well.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, Almond and regular flour. Add the egg whites. With an electric mixer beat the mixture well for about 1 minute. Pour in the browned (or melted) butter and beat again for another minute. Gently stir in the fruits. Batter would be pourable.

Spoon or pour the batter into the muffin tin. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes or just when the financiers are beginning to rise. Reduce the oven temperature to 400F and bake for another 7 minutes. Turn-off the heat without opening the oven door and leave the financiers there for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack but let the Financiers cool in the muffin tins for about 10 minutes or just until warm. These are best eaten warm. Should you have some left-overs, which I really doubt, just store them in airtight containers.
