Critical Success Points

  • Achieving the correct amber color for the brown butter without burning it.
  • Ensuring the brown butter is fully cooled before folding it into the batter.
  • Not over‑baking the financiers; they should stay moist inside.

Safety Warnings

  • The butter will be very hot; handle the saucepan with oven mitts.
  • Use a timer when making brown butter to avoid burning.
  • The oven is hot; use heat‑proof gloves when inserting or removing the tray.
