rebel financiers

I love green pistaccios, because it brings colors and originality to easy recipes, like madeleines or financiers. I took this recipe on http://popotedevero.blogspot.fr , and I just added pistaccios. On the other hand, traditional financiers are baked in rectangle-shaped small tins, but I don't own these ones, so I improvised with little tartlets tins and small kougloffs tins (that's why they are rebels).

ingrédients:
-70g almond flour
-50g flour

-120g icing sugar
-50g butter
-4 egg whites
-a teaspoon vanilla
-1,5 teaspoon bitter almond extract

-some green pistaccios

recipe:
#Preheat the oven medium heat.
#Mix sieved flour (it's not compulsory, but it will avoid lumps)
with almond flour and icing sugar. Add the melted butter and the egg whites, then vanilla and bitter almond.
#Grind quite thinly a part of the pistaccios and add them to the dough.
#Pour it in financier tins if possible or otherwise any little tins, decorate with the rest of the pistaccios and put them in the oven 15 to 20 minutes.
#Remove them from the tins.

#BON APPETIT# ENJOY YOUR MEAL#
