Buckwheat and Walnut Financiers
Savour the nuttiest bake of the season: my Buckwheat & Walnut Financiers. Toasted walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans blend with freshly milled buckwheat flour, rich brown butter, and dark chocolate for a deep, earthy sweetness. Rested overnight and baked until perfectly golden, these little cakes deliver intense flavour in every bite—crisp edges, soft centres, pure luxury.
