Raspberry Rose Financiers

Raspberry Rose Financiers are a delightful and elegant dessert that combines the delicate flavors of raspberries and rose. These small, almond-based cakes are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a fancy dinner party or a casual afternoon tea. The combination of the nutty almond flavor with the tartness of the raspberries and the subtle floral notes of rose creates a truly unique and delicious treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon rose water
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the melted butter and rose water to the egg whites and whisk until well combined.

Step 2: Combining the Ingredients

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense financiers. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.

Step 3: Filling the Molds

Grease a financier mold or a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray. Fill each mold about three-quarters full with the batter. Press a few raspberries into the batter in each mold, gently pushing them down until they are partially submerged.

Step 4: Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the financiers are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cooling and Serving

Remove the financiers from the oven and let them cool in the molds for a few minutes. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the financiers with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve them as a delightful dessert or enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee.

These Raspberry Rose Financiers are a delightful treat that will impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth.
