This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Pain de Genes Buttons. Their back story is that during a seige in 1800, the only food that the townspeople of Genoa had was almonds. These little cakes are very simple, comprising almond paste, egg, cornflour, flour, salt, kirsch and flaked almonds.
They don’t look much, but these little cakes are very tasty. The texture is soft and spongy.
To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

Yep these did have a nice texture, didn't they? I still think I prefer financiers though!
Agreed! A bit more substance to them.
i think they’re cute- looking forward to making these!
i think they’re cute—i have my almond paste and am looking forward to making these!
Mmmm....these do sound delicious!! And the knowing my family, I wouldn't have to share, LOL!
Funny the texture is what we didn't like in our house. I agree also that I like financiers better.
