In Season 14 of The Great British Baking Show ™ we saw Dan being highly praised in the semi-finals for this lovely 'financier' recipe.
Ingredients
100g ground almonds
100g powdered sugar
40g all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 large orange
4 large egg whites
100g unsalted butter
TOPPING
2 ripe peaches, diced and macerated with 1 tbsp sugar
Fresh raspberries
Optional: orange zest for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter and flour your financier molds (we avoid all that by using Flexipan mini-muffin molds).
Dice peaches and toss with sugar. Set aside for 30 minutes to release juices.
Cook butter in small saucepan until golden brown and nutty. Cool slightly.
Sift icing sugar and flour together. Stir in ground almonds and orange zest.
Lightly whisk egg whites with vanilla extract. Fold into dry ingredients, then fold in brown butter until just combined.
Fill molds 2/3 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
Cool in molds for 5 minutes, then turn out. Top with macerated peaches and fresh raspberries.
