Raspberry Financier Cyril Lignac Recipe

Ingredients:

125g unsalted butter, diced and room temperature
125g ground almonds
125g icing sugar
50g flour
2 egg whites
125g fresh raspberries

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan).
Grease a 12-hole muffin tin or financier moulds.
In a mixing bowl, beat the diced, room temperature butter until pale and fluffy.
Add the ground almonds, icing sugar, flour, and egg whites and continue to mix until everything is combined.
The mixture will be thick and mousse-like.
Spoon the mixture equally into the greased moulds.
Place a raspberry on top of each mould and press down slightly to ensure the raspberry is submerged in the mixture.
Bake the Financiers for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow it to cool before releasing the financiers from their moulds.
Serve warm or cold with fresh raspberries on the side and a dusting of icing sugar.

This Raspberry Financier Cyril Lignac recipe is the perfect dessert for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart raspberries with nutty almond flavour will leave your taste buds wanting more. These financiers are not only delicious, but they are visually stunning. The baked raspberry on top adds a pop of colour that enhances the presentation.
