Ingredients:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1/2 cup almonds
60g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1/3 cup butter
70g
3 egg whites
100g
1/3 cup blueberries
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a mini muffin tin or small friand molds and set aside.
2. Melt Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it is fully liquid. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and all-purpose flour.
- Stir in the ground almonds until they are fully combined with the flour and sugar.
4. Whip Egg Whites:
- In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy and form soft peaks.
- Tip: Ensure your bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease for the best results.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the melted and slightly cooled butter into the frothy egg whites.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture (powdered sugar, ground almonds, and flour) into the wet ingredients. Fold everything together gently until just combined.
- Note: Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the egg whites.
6. Add Blueberries:
- Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Fill Molds and Bake:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin or friand molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the friands are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the friands to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optionally, dust with a bit of extra powdered sugar for decoration before serving.

Tips:

- Tip 1: Ensure the butter is melted but not hot, as this will help it incorporate more smoothly with the other ingredients.

- Tip 2: Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but if using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

- Tip 3: To avoid over-mixing, gently fold in the egg whites until they are just combined with the dry ingredients.

- Tip 4: For an extra touch of sweetness and texture, you can sprinkle a little extra powdered sugar over the friands before serving.

- Tip 5: Allow the friands to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them to firm up and makes them easier to handle.
