Friands are small almond cakes, which are also known as financiers in France. They are moist, chewy, rich and perfectly dense. You don't need a special oval Friand pan to bake these, a standard muffin tin would work just fine. This recipe makes about 10 standard muffins or 6 rectangles (10x6.5x4cm). Coffee friands are the perfect accompaniment to your mid-morning or afternoon break. The remaining friands can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for a month.
- 185 g Butter, chopped
- 125 g Almond meal
- 220 g Confectioners' sugar
- 75 g White spelt flour
- 1 tbsp Ground coffee powder
- 6 Egg whites, lightly beaten until frothy
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
|
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Brush six 140ml capacity non-stick mini loaf pans (or 10 regular muffin cups) with melted butter to lightly grease.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium-low heat, then simmer for 5 minutes until golden brown (take care not to burn). Cool slightly.
- Combine the almond meal, confectioners' sugar, white spelt flour and coffee powder. Whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add to the dry ingredients, with the butter. Stir until just combined.
- Divide the batter among prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Set aside in the pans for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. Serve dusted with a little extra sifted confectioners' sugar, if desired.

love coffee taste and smell....
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Friands can mean a lot of kinds of pastry. I was more familiar with what it says in Wikipedia — that they are 'a tasty thing', generally referring to sausage, cheese, herbs or other stuffing baked in puff pastry, Yours sound good too.
