These financiers (I can’t help but pronounce them fanciers) are terribly easy to make, and there is grand deliciousness to effort payoff. Don’t be tempted to put more than the tablespoon in each financier mould, the gloopy mixture will spread and rise, and out of the oven, once they’ve cooled they will have this delightful chew to the crumb. The plums being soft and sweet at their heart. They are perfect and dainty, to be served in the afternoon with a cup of tea, which is what Sarah and I did when we baked them. But the leftovers Sarah took to see Bruce Springsteen at Hanging Rock. While waiting in a football length line, Hanging Rocking looming and golden behind the stage, kangaroos looking on, she chewed on these morsels.
