Rhubarb financiers
Helen Evans, previously head baker at Flor Bakery and now owner/baker at Eric’s in East Dulwich, presents baking recipes where the flour is the star of the show, including these rhubarb cakes, using red lammas wheat flour and ground almonds

Another recipe using brown butter [see Helen's recipe for brown butter cakes] – I love the rich flavour it brings to otherwise simple recipes – but you can use melted butter instead. These are rich, hence their small size, but the rhubarb offers welcome freshness. I prefer whole ground almonds (containing all the skin), as they are less wasteful and more flavourful, and I use red lammas wheat flour, which dates back to 1660.
