Financiers are basically french almond tea cakes / desserts flavoured with buerre noizette or hazelnut butter (because of the colour). Back in 1890s, they were called “Visitandines”, and were made in the shape of gold bullion for the financiers who worked near the Place de la Bourse in Paris. Hence, The authentic financiers have a rectangular shape resembling a rectangle gold bar.
Incase you don’t have a rectangular mould, feel free to use your regular cupcake or muffin moulds instead!
Instead of Almond Powder you can also use Hazelnut or Pistachio Powder to make Hazelnut / Pistachio Financiers !
