Description
I never would have thought that would be... One in France... the French language, which was once obscure, now getting so close. Today after walking around Lyon, I came home very late (the weather is fabulous!). Tomorrow's the big exam, there will be a sleepless night with textbooks and dictionaries. Say, sweet promotes mental work. And I think I know what to cook myself a strong coffee. French pastries are the most know the croissants, but often forget about the classic French Finance (financiers). And I love them! These little muffins with almond crumb, crispy crust and a minimum of flour. And here's the recipe: "Finanse blueberry", so... like all products there. Forward!
Ingredients
-
Blueberries
80 g
-
Egg white
2 piece
-
Flour
30 g
-
Almonds
45 g
-
Powdered sugar
75 g
-
Butter
50 g

Cooking
Measure out the required quantity of products. I prefer all at once to weigh and distribute cups. Berries blueberries wash.
First, melt the butter and leave to slightly cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the flour, icing sugar and ground almonds. There also throw a pinch of salt.
The cooled butter, pour in the mixture.
Thoroughly mix to obtain a fatty almond flour crumbs.
Now, take a mixer and in a separate bowl, beat egg whites to stiff foam. It will take about three minutes and until you can repeat the conjugations of French verbs: je suis, tu es, il est, nous sommes... Oh, well at least no declension as in Russian!
So, protein foam ready. Spread it to the dough and stir with a spoon until smooth.
The batter should be fairly liquid.
Adding blueberries.
Prepare molds. I will use a round muffins, but actually, Finance there are different forms, so choose yourself what is more convenient. The important thing is to grease the cups with butter and a little "powder" flour so the muffins do not stick to the walls.
Fill molds the mix, not reaching a few millimeters to the edge, as the dough during baking will rise. And bake it in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. After 10 minutes, diminish the heat to 180 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes until fully cooked (it is easy to understand in a uniform browned crust). The entire 15 minutes! You can spend them to read the text about Charles de Gaulle. Amazing man he was... If not for him, France would now be very different.
However, history does not tolerate subjunctive mood, so enough reflection, time to take out Finance out of the oven. That's crazy, what flavor! Gently remove the cupcakes from the molds (you can help knife or spatula) and leave to cool for a few minutes.
Hooray, ready. Sprinkle the top with icing sugar and to make coffee. What a pleasure to break in half fresh Finance, to take a bite and drink a SIP of the fragrant invigorating drink.
Now I will allow myself ten minutes of pleasure and then for work. On the agenda of the night the history of the French revolution, biography of Jean Moulin and the texts of Victor Hugo.
