How should I store leftover friands?

Store any leftover friands in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.

Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with a different gluten-free flour?

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose white wheat flour with other gluten-free flours like almond flour or coconut flour. However, the texture may vary, so adjustments in liquid may be required.

How do I know when the friands are done baking?

The friands are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it comes out with wet batter, they need more time.

What can I use instead of raspberries in this recipe?

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.
