Gluten-free raspberry and lime friands

This delightful Gluten-free Raspberry and Lime Friands recipe brings a burst of fruity freshness to your palate. Perfect for those who are gluten intolerant, these friands are light, moist, and wonderfully zesty. With the zing of lime and the sweet tang of raspberries, these friands make an excellent treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

5 egg whites
160g
1 cup almonds
120g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
2/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
80g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup raspberries
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a friand or muffin tray with butter or line with paper cases.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds, lime zest, powdered sugar, and gluten-free flour. Stir until well mixed.
3. Whisk Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are foamy. You do not need to beat them to stiff peaks, just until they are frothy.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the frothed egg whites into the dry ingredient mixture. Add the lime juice and melted butter, continuing to fold gently until the batter is smooth and uniform.
5. Add Raspberries: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Tray: Spoon the batter into the prepared friand or muffin tray, filling each hole about 3/4 full to allow space for the friands to rise.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the friands are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the friands to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure that all your ingredients, especially the flour, are 100% gluten-free to maintain the gluten-free quality of the friands.

- Be gentle when folding the raspberries into the batter to prevent them from breaking and bleeding too much juice into the mixture.

- Use a microplane grater for the lime zest to avoid getting any bitter white pith into your batter.

- If you want to achieve an extra fine texture in your friands, you can sift the almond meal before mixing it with the other ingredients.

- Let the friands cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent them from breaking apart.

- You can store the friands in an airtight container for up to three days, and they also freeze well for longer storage.

Enjoy your homemade Gluten-free Raspberry and Lime Friands! These tender, flavorful treats are sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them with your afternoon tea, these friands are a delicious way to savor the combination of lime and raspberry.
