To make the financiers:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a mini cupcake/muffin tray with pan spray.
  • Skip this step if you purchased pistachio flour. Combine the pistachios and flour in your food processor and grind until the pistachios are super fine like flour.
  • Combine your pistachio flour in a bowl with the powdered sugar, salt, and egg whites and mix.
  • Slowly whisk in the browned butter making sure to scrape in all the delicious browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Scoop or pipe into the prepared tray three-quarters of the way.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes rotating the pan halfway through. The financiers should spring back with poked when ready.
  • Allow to cool before removing from the pan and dusting with powdered sugar.
