- In a mixing bowl, whisk together confectioner sugar and almond flour. Add the egg whites, then the flour, the cooled brown butter, and whisk gently until smooth. Fold the blood orange zest and juice.
- Place your Mini Spiral Flexipat® Tray on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet.
- Spoon your batter into the Flexipat®.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your financiers from 15min). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once your blood orange almond financiers are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10min. Then, Unmold, Serve and Enjoy with some Blood Orange Lemon Curd! Bon Appétit!
BLOOD ORANGE LEMON CURD
- Place your Small Round Flexipan® Mold on the top of an oven safe plate. Directly in your Flexipan®, mix the sugar, lemon/blood orange juice, softened butter with your spatula. Then, combine the egg.
- Microwave on high at 1 minute intervals, stirring after each minute, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer into your jar, loosely covering with lid and allow to cool completely. Once cool, seal jars and place into refrigerator until ready to serve.
