Blueberry and Lemon Friands
I love these simple little cakes. I know they look quite plain, but trust me, they are absolutely delicious. The best thing about them is that they are so easy to make.
In Australia, friands are typically baked in small oval cake tins. You can of course bake these in standard muffin pan.
Now on the topic of brown butter (beurre noisette) vs melted butter. The brown butter apparently gives a nutty note to the cake. I found that it didn’t make a whole heap of difference worthwhile the effort of browning the butter. Well, that’s my opinion anyway. So melted butter for my friands it is.
Of all the different favours I have experimented with, my favourite is still the classic blueberry and lemon. When baked, the blueberries will burst and become jammy and delicious.
These little cakes are best served still warm from the oven, with the crust crisp and the centre moist and light. Having said that, they are just as wonderful after a day or two.

Ingredients:
- 100 grams icing sugar
- 25 grams plain flour
- 85 grams almond meal (ground almond)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 120 grams egg whites (about 3 eggs)
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- About 85 grams blueberries
- About 1/4 cup almond flakes
Instruction:
- Additional butter and flour for prepping the cake pan. See method below.
- To make Blueberry and Lemon Friands:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius conventional (or 180 degrees celcius fan-forced).
- Rub softened butter in the holes of the friand or muffin pan, and dust each hole lightly with flour. Tap the pan, upside down, over the sink to get rid of excess flour. Set aside. (Note: Don't be tempted to skip this step even if you have a non-stick pan. It not only helps to guarantee that the friands won't get stuck in the pan, the butter and flour will give a nice golden crust all over.)
