Honey Financiers

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: For even baking, make sure the sheet is large enough to accommodate the financiers without overlapping.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Sifting the dry ingredients ensures they are well combined and aerated.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, milk, and eggs.

   Tip: This mixture will be the base for our financiers, so make sure it is smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense pastries.

5. 5

   Fold in the chopped almonds and flaky sea salt.

   Tip: These will add a delightful texture and flavor to our financiers.

6. 6

   Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

   Tip: Pipe the batter into small, round shapes, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter.

7. 7

   Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

   Tip: This will help the financiers cook evenly and maintain their shape.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the financiers are golden brown and firm to the touch.

   Tip: Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven.

9. 9

   Remove the financiers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

   Tip: This will help them retain their shape and make them easier to transfer to a wire rack.

10. 10

    Transfer the financiers to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Tip: This will help them retain their texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
