What is the difference between a financier and a madeleine?
Generally, a financier is characterized by the flavors of egg whites, almonds, and browned butter, while a madeleine is typically based on a batter made with whole eggs. At Cafe & Sweets Parade Kyoto, we offer the Brown Butter Financier and a madeleine made with rice flour and honey.
