I’m so happy to hear that you and your little one enjoyed this recipe 🙂 I’ve been trying lots of different friand recipes now that I have a friand pan again, but I think these Lemon Drizzle Friands remain my favourite.

But I have copied the pic of the Friand tin and it is on its merry e-mail way to my Sister in law in Australia. Here’s one of the key things to get right: with a fork, lightly whisk the egg whites until they are combined, that’s all – then stop!

It is best to defrost frozen egg whites overnight in the fridge, but I usually defrost them in a bowl of warm water.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low-medium heat and let it cook for a couple of minutes, just so it darkens slightly. Do you know how long these can last in the freezer already baked off or how long I can keep the batter for?Manufactured from heavy duty commercial weight 1mm steel, with a double non-stick coating, this twelve hole pan forms part of the MasterClass award winning collection that guarantees many years of satisfying cooking and baking. I think the French have caught on to the Australians … when I was last in Paris, I saw friand moulds sold in quite a few places alongside the other cake tins.

Bake the friands in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and a skewer inserted in the middle of a friand comes out clean. Whilst my husband may have rolled his eyes with the addition of yet another baking tin to my bulging collection, he later declared these Lemon Friands to be the best lemon cake he had ever eaten. My daughter and I have chosen to make friands for her French class (cooking assignment and friands were an option) but we live at 5500ft elevation. Friands are seriously popular in Australia and are found in cafes, beach huts and even McDonalds all over the country.The texture is something else and you can play around with a basic recipe, hampered only by your imagination. Whether it’s a new school, a new job, or a new house they can all be fraught with difficulties and can be some of the most stressful times there are. WHEN I MADE A BATCH FOR MY GRANDKIDS, I ADDED A SIMPLE VANILLA GLAZE ON SOME AND A CHOCOLATE GLAZE ON THE OTHERS.

My main hobbies at the moment are baking, and setting the world record for the number of cake tins owned by one person. My children absolutely adore eating friands and I knew that I had to get the mini friand pan for them. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. If you are someone who, like me, makes a lot of custard, pastry or shortbread, you might find yourself with a lot of leftover egg whites.It has been roughly seven years since I made the bold decision to quit my job in Australia, electing to become unemployed and to take a chance at life on the other side of the world. While friands aren’t difficult to make, there are a couple of things I will highlight in the ‘how to make’ section. However, I am a lazy baker and do everything with my KitchenAid; I use one bowl to whisk the egg whites and another for the rest of the ingredients. I think friands should actually have a rounded muffin top 😊 But I find that, if I add toppings to the friands, like raspberries or another fruit, the friands generally have a flat top. Obviously every oven is different so use your judgement – as long as the skewer comes out clean, they are done.
