French Financiers Cakes are generally baked with almond flour. Today, we are substituting it with Hazelnut flour, and it is DELICIOUS!
I got this recipe from my friend Lauren (@lolotambouille), and I think she likes Financiers as much as I do! You will it on her website right HERE! Check it out, it just got a “Face Lift” and it is Stunning đ

Are the egg whites whipped ?
Hello Swarna, the egg whites should simply be added as is to the hazelnut flour and confectioners sugar, before adding the flour and cooled melted butter. They do not need to be whipped at all. Hope this help! Try the recipe, these cakes just melts as you eat them, my favorite! ~Nessa
