Product Information

I love this recipe 🙂 for gf friends I do 3/4 brown rice flour and 1/4 besan flour, because it’s what I have. I made my move from the land Down Under to the land of milk and honey with a half container full of cookbooks and treasured kitchen paraphernalia, all amassed during my years as a poor student and, later, a poor graduate with a ridiculously high student loan. But ask yourself this – and look very deeply into your soul before answering – when has a cup of tea and a carrot ever cheered you up? I have never been one to travel lightly, so the idea of packing my life into one suitcase with a limit of 20 kg was going to be unlikely. I suspect that, because there are no leveling agents here, you should be able to make the recipe as is.

Sift the flour and 250 g (1 2/3 cup) icing sugar into a large bowl, and stir through the ground almonds. The mere elusiveness of this friand tin suddenly made me want one desperately, even if I hadn’t baked a friand in nearly a decade. Friands should be a little dense in texture from the ground almonds, but they are not dense in a bad way. don't wedge 2 in your face really quickly, best wedge 1 in and let it register in your guts as they are a tad filling when they expand in your stomach and the second one can lay a tad heavy if consumed quickly after the first. I have made these and they are wonderful, the amount of comments I received about the taste and texture.But I have copied the pic of the Friand tin and it is on its merry e-mail way to my Sister in law in Australia. After reading many years ago about Nigella Lawson’s recommendation to freeze unused egg whites – a tip which has been most welcome for someone who makes custard and ice-cream quite often – my freezer has since been overtaken by little freezer bags, waiting for their moment to be turned into meringues or pavlovas. If you ever need any cake tins, or Alannah Hill items ;), I’m more than happy to be another Australian source of supplies for you. They are made mainly with ground almonds, egg whites and very little flour which makes them moist and extremely moreish too ! In France, they are sold in individual oval-shaped moulds which have either a star or diamond embossed at the bottom, but you can also find plain ones.

If you can’t get your hands on a friand mould, don’t fret – a normal muffin tin will work just as well. If you are using leftover frozen egg whites, make sure you defrost them first and let them come to room temperature before using in this recipe. I’m so happy to hear that you and your little one enjoyed this recipe 🙂 I’ve been trying lots of different friand recipes now that I have a friand pan again, but I think these Lemon Drizzle Friands remain my favourite. Almond meal: I used blanched almond meal (finely ground almonds without skins), which yields a light dough. After 10 minutes, without opening the door, reduce the heat to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/ Gas mark 4 and bake for a further 5 minutes.

But if you want a flat top, I suggest that you cool the friands with the tops facing down on the wire rack. I have been wanting to try David Lebovitz’s financier recipe for a while, and I must try this one along with it.

Once you start making friands, you will find that they are incredibly easy to make and that the variations are endless. How lovely to hear from another Aussie 🙂 You are more than welcome to ask me if you need help finding anything here in Switzerland. You could certainly make this recipe using a cupcake or muffin tin (just remember to adjust the baking time accordingly) but the texture of a friand is quite different to your normal cupcake.There is often an upside as these challenges can bring opportunities you would not have been exposed to otherwise.
