Blueberry Financier

6 servings

60 minutes

Financier with blueberries is a refined treat of French origin that emerged in the 19th century. Originally made for business people near Paris's financial district, hence the name. The main feature of financier is its lightness and rich nutty flavor due to almond flour and browned butter. In this version, blueberries add juiciness and pleasant acidity, complementing the sweetness of the batter well. Financiers are perfect with morning coffee or as an exquisite treat with tea or dessert wine.
