If you’re not aware, friands are popular little French cakes that are found in so many bakeries and cafés. It won’t come as a surprise that friands are so popular because of how yummy they are. They’re not only yummy though, they’re easy to make and Karen will show you how… without using any machinery, just some bowls, a spoon and some inspiration. And Karen has more than enough of that to go around.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced (220°C conventional). Lightly grease a 12-hole, 1/2-cup-capacity friand pan.
In a small saucepan on medium heat, cook butter until nut brown, swirling pan to colour evenly. Set aside for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk icing sugar, almond meal, flour, cloves and salt to remove any lumps.
Beat egg whites with a fork until gently frothy. Pour into icing sugar mixture, add cooked butter and zest. Mix with a spoon until smooth. Fill each prepared pan hole to about two-thirds, then press a raspberry into centre of each.
Bake for 10 minutes, reduce oven to 190°C fan-forced (210°C conventional) and cook for a further 8 minutes. Set aside to cool, then unmould friands.
To make Icing, sift icing sugar into a bowl, add juice and stir to combine. Spoon icing over cooled friands and top with a raspberry. Serve.
