Delight in the subtle sweetness and nutty aroma of these Mini Raspberry Friands. Perfect for afternoon tea or a light dessert, these treats marry the smooth richness of butter with the tart freshness of raspberries. Infused with the natural goodness of almonds, they’re as nutritious as they are delicious.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it’s fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and ground almonds. Mix well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs gently with a fork or a whisk just until the yolks and whites are combined.
- Add the beaten eggs to the dry ingredient mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the melted butter until fully incorporated and you have a smooth batter.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries. Be careful not to crush them too much to keep some whole for a burst of flavor.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of each friand for added crunch and decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the friands to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Mini Raspberry Friands as they are, or dust them with a little powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is fully melted and cooled slightly before mixing it with the other ingredients to prevent curdling.
- Sift the all-purpose flour to achieve a lighter, fluffier texture in your friands.
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but frozen raspberries can work in a pinch. If using frozen, do not thaw them beforehand.
- To enhance the almond flavor, consider toasting the almonds lightly before grinding them.
- Grease your baking tin well or use silicone molds to prevent the friands from sticking.
- Decorate with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted white chocolate for added elegance.
Enjoy the delightful contrast of textures and flavors in every bite of these Mini Raspberry Friands. Whether you're serving them at a tea party or indulging in a quiet moment of sweetness, these treats are sure to please.
