PISTACHIO BLACKBERRY FINANCIER

Pistachio Blackberry Financier by Gale Gand

 

Yield

approximately 32 mini cakes

Ingredients

½ cup Butter
¾ cup Pistachios, shelled
1 cup Powdered sugar

½ cup Flour
½ cup Egg whites (approximately 4 eggs)
½ pint Large blackberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.  In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, grind pistachios with powdered sugar and flour until finely ground but do not go so far as to make a paste.  Add egg whites, melted butter and mix.  Batter can be used immediately or kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.

When ready to bake, butter tiny tart molds or a mini muffin tin and spoon in batter to fill mold 2/3 of the way.  Cut blackberries in half, the long way, and place ½ on top of the batter cut side down.  Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cool in molds and gently lift cakes out.
