Place a pan over medium-high heat then add 70 grams of butter and let it melt slowly and boil until it starts to brown then remove it from the heat and let it cool down.

Lightly grease a financier cake mold or a mini donut mold pan with butter then set it aside. Separate 3 egg yolks and egg whites then add the egg whites in a mixing bowl and set the yolks aside. This cake is made with egg whites only which gives them their tender texture.
