Tips:
- Ensure your butter is melted and slightly cooled before mixing it with other ingredients to prevent the batter from becoming too dense.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid bursting them and turning the batter purple.
- Use a microplane to finely zest the lemons for a more intense and even lemon flavor.
- For a nut-free alternative, you can use ground oats or coconut flour in place of almonds.
- Allow the friands to cool completely in the mold before attempting to remove them to prevent them from breaking apart.
Enjoy your homemade blueberry & lemon friands with a cup of tea or coffee, and delight in the perfect balance of tart lemon and sweet blueberries. These moist, flavorful cakes are sure to become a favorite in your baking repertoire.
