Also known as financiers or friands, these almond-scented, bite-sized cakes are a perfect treat for a mid-morning or afternoon snack. They're prettiest when filled with fresh berries; but if looks aren't important, a teaspoonful of jam works quite well, also.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease the cups of a mini-muffin pan.
- Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan set over medium heat. Swirl the butter in the pan and continue to cook until it turns golden and smells nutty.
- Pour the browned butter into a heat-safe bowl, and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
- Mix in the egg whites, honey, almond extract, and browned butter.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here). Top each cake with a fresh berry or two (or a dollop of jam).
- Bake the cakes for 15 to 18 minutes, until they're golden brown around the edge and firm to the touch in the middle.
- Remove the cakes from the oven, and cool them in the pan for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
