Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a friand or muffin pan well to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup dried coconut meat, and flour. Whisk together until well-combined.
- In a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this to save time.
- Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the whipped egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.
- Gently fold in the lime zest and melted, cooled butter into the mixture until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared friand or muffin pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the 2 tbsp of dried coconut meat evenly over the tops of the batter in each mold.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the friands are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Allow the friands to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is melted and cooled slightly before mixing it with other ingredients.
- Beat the egg whites until frothy but not stiff to achieve light and airy friands.
- Use fresh lime zest for the best flavor and aroma.
- Sift the powdered sugar and flour to avoid lumps in your batter.
- Grease your friand tin or muffin tin well to make sure the friands come out easily after baking.
- Allow the friands to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
With their irresistible combination of lime and coconut, these friands are a delightful treat that is sure to please. Simple to make yet incredibly delicious, they are perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips for best results, and you'll have a batch of lovely, light, and flavorful friands in no time. Happy baking!
