Lemon curd friands are a delightful treat perfect for any occasion. These delicate, almond-based cakes are light, moist, and bursting with the fresh, zesty flavor of lemon. Friands are similar to financiers, a French pastry, but typically have a higher proportion of almond meal which makes them extra rich and nutty. Let's dive into how to create these delightful treats!
- Use fresh lemons for the zest to ensure a bright, tangy flavor.
- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature before beating them to achieve optimal volume.
- Gently fold the ingredients together to maintain the airy texture of the friands.
- If you don't have almond meal, you can make your own by finely grinding blanched almonds.
- Use a non-stick friand or muffin tin and lightly grease it to prevent the friands from sticking.
- Allow the friands to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
With their light texture and rich almond flavor, lemon curd friands are sure to become a favorite in your baking repertoire. Enjoy these delightful cakes on their own or with a dollop of fresh lemon curd for an extra burst of citrusy goodness. They are perfect for afternoon tea, dessert, or simply as a sweet treat anytime you want a taste of something special.
