Can you replace brown butter with melted butter?

You can replace brown butter with melted butter. But keep in mind that brown butter loses moisture and is about 75-80% of the weight of butter in solid form.

What is the difference between almond flour and almond meal?

It's all about the size. Almond flour is finely ground from blanched almonds, while almond meal is coarse and made from raw almonds with skins on. Use almond flour for moist cakes and bread that rise, or if you want to add healthy fats to your diet, opt for the meal.

Can you make financiers ahead of time?

You can make the batter one day in advance. Cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight. Bake small cakes the next day.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 395°F (200°C). Butter and flour cavities of a nonstick mini muffin pan.
To make the brown butter, melt and cook the butter in a small saucepan over low heat for 7 to 10 minutes. It will start to foam, then turn golden brown, making brown milk solids. Let it cool to room temperature.
To make the financier batter, mix almond flour, icing sugar, and all-purpose flour in a large bowl with a hand whisk.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with a hand mixer for 15-20 seconds until foamy.
Add beaten egg whites to the flour mixture and mix with a hand whisk.
Pour the browned butter and mix with a rubber spatula or a whisk.
Pour batter into muffin cups almost to the top. Place a raspberry on top of each financier.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden edges and cakes are slightly puffed.
Let the financiers rest in the pan for 3-5 minutes. Remove them from the mini muffin tin and let them cool on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Notes

200 g egg whites, approximately equal to 6 raw fresh egg whites from large-sized chicken eggs.
Consult the beurre noisette recipe for step-by-step photographed explanations, helpful tips, and tricks.
Avoid over-whisking egg whites.
Don't filter the brown butter: brown milk solids bring an additional flavor.
