Honey Financiers with Toasted Almonds

Cooking Temperature

• {"classification":"cooking-temperature","text":{"instruction":"Butter should be cooled for about 5 minutes (warm but not hot) before mixing with egg whites to prevent cooking the eggs while keeping butter liquid enough to incorporate."}}

Handling

• When browning butter, watch carefully as milk solids can burn quickly. Remove from heat immediately when butter turns golden brown and smells nutty.

Allergen Warning

• Cross-contact risk with other allergens. Ensure all utensils, mixing bowls, and the financier mold are thoroughly cleaned before use if shared with allergen-containing ingredients.

Cross Contamination

• Toasted almonds are a topping applied after baking. Keep separate to prevent cross-contact for allergen-sensitive individuals.

Storage

• Store financiers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.

High Risk Population

• These pastries contain raw egg whites mixed with cooled brown butter. Individuals with compromised immune systems, pregnant women, young children, or elderly should use pasteurized egg whites to reduce risk of salmonella.

Equipment Safety

• Use oven mitts when handling the hot skillet for browning butter and when removing the hot baking pan from the oven.
