Small sweet treats shaped like ingots, not to be confused with muffins, financiers are named after the Paris stock exchange district where they became popular among businessmen in the late 1800s. This version, created by the renowned Antonio Bachour, is enriched with chocolate caramel and toasted peanuts for a delicious twist.
To enhance the ingredients of this dessert, the delicate and uniform baking of the specific Pastrybake chamber in serieS is top-notch!
