Patrice Demers’ Maple Sugar Financier Cakes

Preparation

• • In a tall-sided saucepan, cook the butter over medium heat for 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the egg whites onto the dry ingredients and, using a whisk, stir to combine well.
  • Add the melted butter (avoid adding the milk solids) and canola oil. Stir until the batter is smooth.
  • Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter small silicone financier moulds.
  • Spoon the batter into the moulds and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the financiers are golden brown.
  • Let cool before unmoulding.
