[Traditional Food] Financiers

One of the mainstays of French pastry is financiers. These tiny almond cakes are a delicious and stunning delicacy that will not disappoint!

Originally prepared by nuns in the Middle Ages, this meal dates back to the 19th century.

According to history, these tea cakes in the shape of gold bars were also offered close to the Paris stock exchange.

Financiers resemble sponge cake in texture, but they also taste slightly like caramelized butter and almonds.

These cakes are a great complement to your afternoon tea because they are delicate, light, and easy to consume.

If you want to attract children to the cakes, top them with a dab of whip cream!
