Description
This traditional French dessert probably got the name financier because of its richness. I made it with a batter in which ground hazelnuts, sugar, wheat flour and melted butter are folded into egg whites that have been beaten with sugar. Served with a perfect seasonal compote accompaniment. It's one of my favorite desserts, hope you enjoy it!
Today, we are featuring a blueberry compote.
Ingredients
hazelnuts, sugar, butter-browned, wheat flour, egg-whites, vanilla-extract, grapes or other seasonal compote, sugar
