My friend the friand
Heat the oven to 200'C/Gas 6. Melt the butter and allow to cool,
then use 1 tbsp to coat 10 muffin tin moulds or individual oval
baking moulds measuring 5x 10cm.
Sift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl, and mix in the ground
almonds. Lightly beat the egg whites with a fork, then fold them
into the dry ingredients. Add the cooled, melted butter and lemon
rind, and mix well.
Three-quarters fill each mould with the mixture and bake on the
middle shelf of the oven for 1O minutes. Turn the tray around, and
bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the tops are golden and
spring back to the touch.
Leave in the tins for 5 minutes, then gently unmould onto a wire
tray and leave to cool. Dust the friands with icing sugar to serve,
or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
