Financiers with salted angel delight and Limoncello syrup

Start the financier batter. Place a pan over a high heat, add the butter and cook until chestnut brown. Pass the butter through a sieve lined with kitchen paper into a bowl. Leave to cool to room temperature and set aside

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Combine the flour, ground hazelnuts and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the egg whites, then slowly stir in the browned butter until a batter is formed

Grease 4 financier moulds with the extra butter and fill them 3/4 of the way up with the financier batter. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool in the moulds for a couple of minutes before taking them out to cool fully on a wire rack

For the syrup, heat the Limoncello in a saucepan over a high heat until reduced by half. Add the lemon zest and juice and sugar and reduce to a syrup. Set aside to cool

For the salted angel delight, use an electric mixer to whisk the double cream to soft peaks. In a separate bowl, combine the créme fraîche, mascarpone, dulce de leche and a pinch of salt. Fold in the whipped cream and adjust the seasoning to taste. Set aside

For the walnuts, place the sugar and 50ml of water in a pan and bring to the boil. Cook until you have a light syrup. Add the walnuts and boil for 5 minutes, until nicely coated. Drain

Heat 3cm of oil in a deep pan to 180°C (until a cube of bread turns golden and sizzles when dropped into it). Add the walnuts and cook for about 1 minute until caramelised. Use a slotted spoon to remove walnuts from the oil, drain on kitchen paper and set aside to cool

Place the financiers on 4 serving dishes, spoon or pipe over the salted angel delight and sprinkle over the walnuts. Drizzle with the Limoncello syrup and serve
