1. Make the brown butter: Heat the butter in a small stainless steel saucepan (see notes) over medium heat until completely melted and simmering. Keep on cooking over low heat, swirling the pot from time to time. The butter will bubble up as the water evaporates, which will prevent you from watching closely over the color changing. When that happens, lift the pot off the heat for a few seconds, swirling it gently until the bubbles recede, then put back on the heat. The butter is ready when the milk solids at the bottom of the pot turn a light brown color and the concoction gives off a delicious hazelnut aroma.
2. When the butter is browned, remove the pan from the heat, pour in a small bowl, and let cool completely for 10 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and citrus zest, if using. Add the egg whites and whisk until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is thick and somewhat sticky. Mix in the brown butter and vanilla, if using, whisking gently at first to incorporate, then giving it a vigorous stir to allow the batter to fully come together. Transfer the batter to an airtight container and refrigerate for 1 hour, or for up to 1 week.
4. When ready to bake the financiers, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan or a mini muffin pan with parchment paper liners (see notes) or grease a financier pan with softened butter, then sprinkle with flour and tap out the excess. (Make sure to grease the pan even if it is made of silicone.)
