Blueberry Lemon Friands Recipe

Blueberry Lemon Friands Recipe

Ingredients: Serves 6  (Preheat oven to 200°C)

100g unsalted butter

125g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting

25g plain (all-purpose) flour

85g ground almonds

3 medium egg whites

grated rind of 1 un-waxed lemon

85g blueberries

 

Method:

Generously butter six non-stick friand or muffin tins.  Melt the butter and set aside.  Sift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl.  Add the almonds and mix with your fingers.  Whisk the egg whites in another bowl to form a light, floppy foam.  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and tip in the egg whites and the lemon rind.  Then lightly stir in the butter to form a soft batter.  Divide the batter among the tins.  Sprinkle a handful of blueberries over each cake and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until just firm to the touch and golden brown.  Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.  To serve, dust lightly with icing sugar.
