In reply to David Springer. Much appreciated, David. So glad it all worked out, and I absolutely LOVE the idea of chunks of nuts in the financier. It's something you don't seem to find here, but I am all about that kind of texture in my baked goods. Enjoy!

In reply to Audrey. Thank you for this clarification! I just made these using the 105g starting weight of butter, and they are delicious! Everyone loves the subtle nutty flavour. I even left a few chunky bits of the hazelnuts and that added a delightful crunch. My family and our neighbours all love your recipes!

In reply to David Springer. Great question, David! I use the 105g of butter as the starting weight, and use what's left after making the brown butter. Please enjoy!

For the brown butter, do you start with 105g of uncooked butter, and use the remainder (which is less than 105g)? Or do you use 105g of brown butter (meaning you start with more than 105g of butter)?

In reply to Amanda. Much appreciated kind words, Amanda! So glad you and the husband enjoyed these as much as I do. And, as always, a great call on making your own hazelnut meal. It's not obligatory, but it does definitely make a difference!

These were unreal! I’m not a sweet tooth but I had to hold myself back from eating them all, and my husband fought me for the remaining few haha
I wasn’t sure if the pre-packaged hazelnut meal was pre-roasted so I decided to make my own. Anything with burnt butter is a winner for me so I knew I’d love these. I’d highly recommend this recipe to hazelnut lovers.

I made these with homemade almond flour and they are excellent. A nice nutty, almondy flavor with just a hint of sweetness. You can taste the brown butter in the background. I made them in a mini muffin tin and got 12 from one half recipe. Next time I will be making the full recipe they are so good.

I get your newsletter and am impressed with all of your recipes. The attention to detail makes it easy for someone who has never made the dish before create something amazing. I will definitely be trying more of your recipes.
