1. Preheat your oven on 160'C/325'F and grease a Financier Pan (see note 1). Optionally, flour the pan too.
2. Mak the Brown Butter: place your butter in a small saucepan and turn on low to medium low heat. Cook until the butter has completely melted and starts to get foamy. Keep on cooking, occasionally stirring, the melted butter starts to turn golden and releases a nutty aroma, and you can see small brown specks at the bottom of the saucepan (see note 2). It should take about 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool down.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the Flour, Almond Meal, Icing Sugar and Salt. Mix to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the Egg Whites until slightly froathy (see note 3).

1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Cook until it stops bubbling and takes on a light golden color with a nutty smell (be sure to not overcook it!). At this point, you will have a butter called "beurre noisette" in French cuisine, also known as brown butter. Put in a bowl and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a big bowl, mix well the powdered sugar, almond ground, and all-purpose flour with a spatula. Mix in the egg whites well, always using the spatula (do not whisk too much the eggs white! We do not want to incorporate too much air in it). Then add the warmed "beurre noisette" until everything is well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
4. Grease well the financier molds or muffin pans with butter. Fill each mold 2/3 of the way with a spoon or a pastry bag. Add a few sliced almonds (optional) and lower your oven to 430 F when putting your financiers in it. Bake for 4 minutes, then 380 F for 4-6 minutes for a crunchy outside and soft inside (be careful during the last minute; their edges can burn very quickly).
