Fucking Blackberry Financiers

Serves 24 (lying, cheating bastards and their girlfriends)

Ingredients

• ½ cup + 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup thinly sliced almonds
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups + 1 tablespoon powdered
sugar, and additional for finishing
• 5 large egg whites
• 2 ½ tablespoons honey
• 2 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen and
thawed, cut in half
Directions

- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare two 12-cup mini muffin tins by greasing
and set aside.
- Over medium heat, melt the butter in a medium size saucepan. The butter should
begin to simmer. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, scraping the bottom frequently to make
sure it doesn’t burn. Pour the butter and any browned pieces into a medium size bowl;
cool for 5 minutes.

- Grind the almonds and flour together in a blender or food processor until fine. Pour
the mixture into a medium bowl and whisk in the powdered sugar. Use an electric
mixer to beat in the egg whites until the mixture is smooth. Then use a spatula to fold
in the honey and browned butter. Depending on the altitude where you live you may
need to add additional water or flour to get the correct consistency for the batter.
- Divide the batter between the prepared cups, about a tablespoon in each, and top with
several blackberry halves. Place the tins in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes
or until they are golden brown and springy to the touch. Allow them to cool for 10
minutes in the tins before removing. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
