mixture and end with the butter. Pour the batter into the prepared
pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle with the sliced almonds. Bake the
Financier for about 50 minutes until well risen and golden The center
of the cake should feel firm when pressed with the palm of the hand.

some of the almonds on the surface fall off, replace them on the
cake. Dust very lightly with confectioners sugar.
