Method

Financier

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, and egg whites until smooth. Gradually add the melted butter and mix well.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, sift together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Pears

    Gently fold in the finely diced pears into the batter. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Grease a financier mold or mini loaf pans. Pour the batter into the molds and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Orange Oil Labneh

  1. 5

    Prepare Labneh

    In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust the salt to taste.

Nitro Crème Fraîche

  1. 6

    Charge the Crème Fraîche

    In a whipped cream dispenser, fill it with the crème fraîche. Charge it with a nitrogen charger according to the manufacturer's instructions. Shake well and set aside.

Cotton Candy

  1. 7

    Create Cotton Candy

    Using a cotton candy machine, pour granulated sugar into the machine. If desired, add a drop of food coloring. Spin until the sugar forms into light, fluffy cotton candy.
