Hello Folks I am looking for a tried and tested recipe for friands. Until
last week I had no idea what a friand was but now I find I am in love with
them. I have scoured the web and found many recipes, all of which are very
similar.I chose one that seemed about middling with its ingredients but both
times I attempted it I have ended up with heavy little puddings instead of
light airy bite size pieces of bliss.
The recipe I used:
Melt 17g unsalted butter
sift one and a half cups of icing sugar
half a cup of plain flour
and 1 cup of Almond meal

Mix dry ingredients with the butter and five egg whites and the zest of a
lemon and then spoon in to muffin or friand tins. Pop a few blueberries or
raspberries or any fruit on top and bake at 180C for approx 20 minutes.

These were edible but not the great taste I was expecting. What I would
like is a recipe that someone has made themselves, including the "Oh and add
this or remove that" because I am sure I am missing something.

Mike
