Ruby Chocolate Financiers

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Line a 20x20cm baking dish with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a non-stick baking dish to prevent the financiers from sticking.

2. 2

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

   Tip: Make sure to whisk until the ingredients are well combined.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.

5. 5

   Melt the ruby chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 10-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.

   Tip: Let the chocolate cool slightly before folding it into the batter.

6. 6

   Fold the melted chocolate into the batter until well combined.

   Tip: Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the ingredients together.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly.

8. 8

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Don't overbake the financiers, as they can become dry.

9. 9

   Remove the financiers from the oven and let them cool in the dish for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Use a spatula to loosen the financiers from the parchment paper.

    Dust the financiers with confectioners' sugar and garnish with ruby chocolate shavings if desired.
