Passion fruit friands
Our best twist on a classic friand: the sharpness of the passion fruit in this recipe beautifully compliments the sweetness of almond. Friand is French for dainty, which describes this incredibly light, airy treat perfectly.
Ingredients
- 5 whites eggs
- 75 g self-raising flour
- 200 g icing sugar
- 125 g ground almonds
- 180 g unsalted butter plus extra for buttering
- 4 passion fruit pulp scooped out or 150g tin of pulp
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Butter 2 × 12-hole muffin tins (or line them with paper cases if you prefer). Whisk the egg whites until they hold a soft peak.
- 2
Sift the flour, icing sugar and almonds over the whisked egg whites and pour the melted butter around the edge of the bowl. Fold together very gently and spoon into 20 of the holes.
- 3
Bake for 15 minutes or until the friands are risen and golden – they should feel slightly springy to the touch.
- 4
Mix the passion fruit and caster sugar and spoon over the warm friands in the tins. Leave for 5 minutes and then lift out of the tins and cool on a wire rack.
