Lime and raspberry friands

Lime and raspberry friands are a delightful treat, perfect for afternoon tea or a light dessert. With a refreshing zest of lime and the sweet, tart flavor of raspberries, these friands are both unique and delicious. Made from simple ingredients like almond meal, butter, and egg whites, these small cakes are surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
1 cup almonds
120g
5 egg whites
160g
1 cup butter
220g
1 cup raspberries
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tray or friand molds with butter or non-stick spray, or line with baking paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour to remove any lumps. Add the lime zest and ground almonds to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the lime zest and almonds.
3. Whisk Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until they are just foamy. You don’t need to beat them to stiff peaks, just until they start forming bubbles.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the foamy egg whites into the dry ingredient mixture using a spatula or whisk. Slowly add the melted and cooled butter into the mixture, ensuring to stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
5. Add Raspberries: Carefully fold in the raspberries. Be gentle to avoid crushing them.
6. Fill Molds: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tray or friand molds, filling each mold about two-thirds full to allow room for the friands to rise.
7. Bake: Place the tray 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: Remove the tray from the oven and allow the friands to cool in the molds for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Once cooled, your lime and raspberry friands are ready to serve. Enjoy them as a delightful treat with a dusting of powdered sugar or alongside a cup of tea or coffee.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is fully melted and slightly cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients to avoid cooking the egg whites.

- When whipping the egg whites, make sure they form soft peaks before folding them into the dough for an airy texture.

- Lightly coat the raspberries in a tiny bit of flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

- Use fresh lime zest for a vibrant flavor and aroma.

Enjoy your lime and raspberry friands with a cup of tea or coffee. The combination of citrus zest and fresh raspberries makes these friands irresistible. Whether you are hosting a gathering or simply satisfying a sweet craving, these friands are sure to impress.
