Friands are the ultimate cake. I remember in high school admiring this delicious little morsel. When I used to work at McDonalds, these were the crème de la crème of the cakes they have there. Maybe I’m exaggerating but I’ve been wanting to make friands for the longest time, and I even bought the pan years ago for such a time as this.
Well, today I finally conquered that fear and found that these are so easy to make!
So here’s the recipe I used and it was from taste.com and I’ve put in my alterations. It was the simplest and without egg wastage. Most of the recipes require only egg whites, whereas this one use the whole eggs.
Melted butter, to grease
Plain flour, to dust
195g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar
75g (1/2 cup) plain flour, sifted
155g (1 1/2 cups) almond meal
3 eggs, lightly whisked
180g unsalted butter, melted, cooled
100g frozen blueberries
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush your friand pan with melted butter. Dust with plain flour.
Step 2
Combine the sugar, flour and almond meal in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add egg and butter. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
Divide among the prepared pans. Divide the blueberries among the centres.
Step 4
Bake for 30 minutes or until light golden. Set aside in the pans for 5 minutes to cool slightly before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
