Method

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a small pan over a medium heat. Keep cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, swirling, until it smells nutty and turns light brown. Pour into a bowl and cool for 10 minutes.

    5 min
  2. 2

    Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Grease a 12 hole muffin tin or financier tin.

  3. 3

    Mix the icing sugar, flour and ground almonds in a bowl. Add the egg whites and stir until smooth.

  4. 4

    Stir in the cooled brown butter, leaving behind any dark specks at the bottom.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter between the holes, filling them two thirds full. Press 2 or 3 raspberries into each.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden and springy. Cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn out onto a rack.
