Apricot Financiers – these cute little bite size cakes are yummy! – I browsed my cookbooks and found something I had all the ingredients for (only 4 ingredients!) These are perfect because they are not too sweet – the sweetness is the apricot – these are made with almond paste –
Tips: The recipe says 30-40 minutes – 30 burned them – the second batch I did for 18 and it still would have been best at about 15 but the good thing is I only did a few on second batch to figure out the time so only do a few to figure out your time Second: I used cup cake liners for first batch – hard to get out – stuck to liners – second batch I just sprayed the mini muffin tin – perfect – came out easily I halved the recipe as I only had 8 oz. almond paste and half made a lot
also the next time I make these (and I will) I will add a small piece of apricot to the bottom of each cup before pouring batter over – I used a pastry bag as it is just easier for me to control portions. Also I let this sit in fridge over night before baking – the recipe recommends a few hours or overnight
