Financiers are French almond cakes that are small in size but big in yumminess, thanks to the brown butter and almonds. We made ours extra delicious by swirling in some Francis Miot La Parisienne jam from our Bisous Bisous box 🍓🍒 These wee cakes are moist and light with wee crispy edges, and they go perfectly with a cuppa 😍
