There I am.\u00a0 Nose pressed against the window of a pastry shop in Paris.\u00a0 It is a magnificent display of opulent, mouth watering goodies,\u00a0 but what has caught my eye are miniature golden loaves\u00a0 – Financiers.<\/del>\u00a0<\/em> The story is that because they look like tiny bricks of gold they were given the appropriate name.<\/p>\n

I am a long way from my favorite patisserie in Paris. I have been making ice cream.\u00a0 This means a container of left over egg whites sits on the kitchen counter.\u00a0 There are many things you use egg whites for.\u00a0 Angel food cake. Pavlova.\u00a0 Concord Cake.\u00a0 Meringues. And\u00a0<\/del>financiers.<\/em>\u00a0 I was craving the rich chewy buttery goodness of those financiers<\/em>.\u00a0 Normally this classic is made with ground almonds .\u00a0 This version uses coconut.\u00a0 You will love this twist on an old favorite.\u00a0 The edges are crispy golden buttery brown, chewy on the outside, dense and rich inside.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2101\"<\/a>If you don’t have those tiny shallow rectangular molds\u00a0 not to worry.\u00a0 You can use any small mold or muffin tins filled part way.\u00a0\u00a0 The recipe comes together in one bowl and is quick to prepare.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The little cakes are baked quickly at a high temperature so you really much stay close to your oven, and not day dream about walking down the avenue des Champs-Elysees.<\/p>\n
