Raspberry friands

Try this delicious recipe from What Katie Ate.

I featured these little cakes on the blog a year or two ago, and I’ve never received so many compliments from my girlfriends (who claim they can’t cook!). They love making them for all sorts of occasions, including baby showers, hen nights and engagement parties. Raspberries pair so well with almonds, but chopped peaches, pears, plums or cherries would work just as well.

RASPBERRY FRIANDS

Makes 18

INGREDIENTS

  • 10 free-range egg whites
  • 300 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 175 g almond meal
  • 370 g icing sugar, sifted, plus extra for dusting
  • 2/3 cup (100 g) plain flour, sifted
  • 2 x 125 g punnets raspberries, plus extra for serving

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180˚C fan-forced. Lightly grease eighteen holes of two silicone friand moulds or non-stick friand pans.

Whisk the egg whites for a few seconds just to lightly combine; you don’t need to whip them into peaks or anything like that.

Add the butter, almond meal, icing sugar and flour and beat lightly to combine well. Pour into the prepared moulds or pans, filling each hole two-thirds full.

Place two or three raspberries on top of each friand and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Dust the friands with icing sugar and serve warm, with extra fresh raspberries if you like.
