How to Make Delicious Sweet Potato Financiers
Today, I’m sharing a recipe for sweet potato financiers packed with creamy sweet potato mousse! These are perfect for a delightful treat.
Financier Batter Ingredients- 75g unsalted butter
- 60g egg whites
- 60g granulated sugar
- 8g honey
- A little vanilla extract
- 35g almond flour
- 25g cake flour
- 1.5g ground cinnamon
Sweet Potato Topping Ingredients- Appropriate amount of mashed sweet potato mousse
- Appropriate amount of maple syrup
- Appropriate amount of mashed sweet potato mousse
- Appropriate amount of maple syrup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by placing 75g of unsalted butter into a saucepan or pan. This butter is key to the financier’s rich, nutty flavor.
Step 2
Melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once the bubbling sound subsides, turn off the heat and let the butter cool slightly. Watch carefully to avoid burning; you want a clear, slightly browned butter (beurre noisette).
Step 3
In a clean bowl, add 60g of fresh egg whites. Lightly whisk them with a fork or whisk until just blended. Avoid creating too much foam.
Step 4
Add 60g of granulated sugar to the egg whites. Stir until the sugar is dissolved into the whites.
Step 5
Incorporate 8g of honey. Honey adds a subtle sweetness and helps keep the financiers moist.
Step 6
Add a small amount of vanilla extract. Vanilla enhances the overall aroma and flavor profile of the financiers.
Step 7
Continue whisking until the sugar granules are no longer noticeable and the mixture is smooth. This ensures a tender crumb.
Step 8
Sift the dry ingredients (35g almond flour, 25g cake flour, and 1.5g ground cinnamon) into the bowl. Sifting prevents lumps and ensures even distribution.
Step 9
Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a whisk until just combined and no dry flour remains. Be careful not to overmix, as this can develop gluten and make the financiers tough.
Step 10
Check the temperature of the cooled butter. It should be around 50°C (122°F), warm to the touch. Pour this warm butter into the batter.
Step 11
Using the whisk again, gently mix the butter into the batter until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and glossy. This emulsification is crucial for texture.
Step 12
Lightly grease your financier molds with butter or non-stick spray. Then, transfer the batter to a piping bag and carefully fill each mold about two-thirds full.
Step 13
Place a dollop of the mashed sweet potato mousse on top of the batter in each mold. Adjust the amount to your liking.
Step 14
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Oven temperatures can vary, so adjust as needed.
Step 15
Once baked, carefully remove the financiers from the oven. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They are delicate when warm.
Step 16
After the financiers have cooled, drizzle them with maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor, just before serving.
Step 17
Your delicious sweet potato financiers are now ready! Enjoy this delightful homemade treat.
