Macadamia and white chocolate friands are delectable small almond cakes that originate from France. Not only are they incredibly tasty, but they also bring together the rich flavors of macadamia nuts and smooth white chocolate. These friands are perfect for special occasions or just to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients:

1 cup macadamia

150g

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour

120g

1/2 cup white chocolate

120g

5 egg whites

160g

2/3 cup butter

150g

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour with finely chopped white chocolate. Set this mixture aside.

3. Chop Macadamias: Using a food processor or a large knife, coarsely chop the macadamias. You want a mix of small pieces and some larger chunks for texture.

4. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

5. Beat the Egg Whites: In another bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until they become frothy. You don’t need to beat them to stiff peaks, just until they're frothy.

6. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the slightly cooled melted butter and vanilla extract to the frothy egg whites. Whisk until well combined.

7. Mix Everything Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

8. Add Macadamias: Fold in the chopped macadamias gently into the batter until evenly distributed.

9. Fill the Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared pan or liners, filling each to about 2/3 full. This allows room for the friands to rise.

10. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the friands are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

11. Cool: Once baked, remove the friands from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Serve: Once cooled, your Macadamia and White Chocolate Friands are ready to be enjoyed. Perfect for a tea time treat or as a delightful dessert!

Tips:

- Ensure that the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping to achieve maximum volume.

- Toast the macadamia nuts slightly before incorporating them into the batter for added depth of flavor.

- Gently fold in the ingredients to keep the batter airy and light.

- Using a silicone friand mold will make it easier to remove the friands after baking.

- Allow the friands to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
