What is the difference between almond flour and almond meal?

The difference between the two is simply the size. Almond flour is a fine nut grind made from blanched almonds. Almond meal is coarse and usually made from raw almonds with the skins on. So, to make a moist cake or bread that will rise, use the small pieces of blanched almonds - almond flour. But if you want to add some healthy fats to your diet, then go for the meal.

Can you make financiers ahead of time?

Financiers are best eaten the day they are baked. So you can make the batter one day in advance, wrap it with plastic, refrigerate it overnight, and bake sweet treats in the morning.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 395 degrees F/200 degrees C. Melt and cook the butter over low to medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes to obtain the brown butter. It will start to foam, then to brown, making brown milk solids. Let it cool.
Mix almond flour, icing sugar, and all-purpose flour with a hand whisk. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg whites until foamy. Add egg whites to the main preparation and mix with the whisk. Pour the cooled brown butter and mix with the whisk again.
Butter and flour cavities of a mini muffin mold. Pour the butter into financier molds almost to the top. Garnish each financier with a fresh raspberry. Bake for 20 minutes until slightly puffed and the edges are golden.
Remove the financiers from the muffin mold immediately and let cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, sprinkle cakes with icing (powdered) sugar if desired.

Notes

200 g egg whites approximately equal to 6 raw fresh egg whites from large-sized chicken eggs.
Don't filter the brown butter: it is all right to use it with the foam and brown milk solids.
If you use silicone mini molds or a silicone financier mold, there is no need to grease and flour them.
Store financiers in an airtight container for up to 7 days. You can freeze them for up to 2 months.
