Lemon Friands


Asked my big kids what would they like to have for today's tea snack ... muffins? cupcakes?  Well .. how about try something new? Friands.  "Okay!"

I have to thank Ann of http://www.anncoojournal.com/2014/02/lemon-friands.html?m=1 for sharing her recipe :-
Lemon Friand
Ingredients:
     95g Butter
     60g Plain flour
     70g Icing sugar
     60g Almond meal (ground almond)
     3 Egg whites (105g)
     Grated zest of 1 lemon

Method:
Preheat oven to 180C. Melt butter and use a little to grease 20 holes mini friand pan. 12 holes for bigger friand pan.

Sift the flour and icing sugar into a large bowl, then stir in the lemon zest and almond meal.

Place egg whites in a small bowl and lightly froth with a fork. Add to dry ingredients with melted butter, stirring until completely combined.

Fill each friand hole two-thirds full/ Bake for about 20 minutes until golden.  Remove from the oven, leave in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Not sure why, I've greased the non-stick muffin pan but still the sides tend to break and not easily remove from the pan.

My boy likes the lemon icing drizzled on small Lemon Coconut cakes that I baked some months ago. So, instead of dusting some icing sugar on Friands,  I drizzle a little of lemon icing instead.
Well, yummy and refreshing Friands with a cup of hot mint tea on my weekend.

  2. Karen, I've been wanting to try these friands. They sound so exotic to me. I suppose I can use my normal muffin pan, right? I haven't seen any friand pans where I shop.

    1. Oh yes I used muffin pan. But somehow the shapes and sizes don't looked that cute vs friand pan. But still they tasted good.
