Rose and vanilla friands are a delicate yet flavorful treat, featuring a blend of fragrant rose and vanilla aromas. These small almond-based cakes are perfect for pairing with tea or coffee, making them an ideal dessert for a cozy afternoon or a special occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Sift together the powdered sugar, ground almonds, and flour in a large mixing bowl. This ensures an even mixture and removes any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until they become frothy. You don't need to beat them to stiff peaks, just until they are airy.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the frothy egg whites and mix gently until well combined.
- Slowly incorporate the browned butter into the batter. Stir until fully integrated.
- Add the vanilla extract and rose water to the batter, mixing well to combine. Adjust the amount of rose water to taste.
- Pour the batter into the prepared friand or muffin tin, filling each mold about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the slivered almonds evenly on top of each friand.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until the friands are golden brown and a skewer 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 friands as they are, or dust with a little extra powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly whisk the egg whites until they are frothy for a lighter texture in your friands.
- Use high-quality rose water or rose extract for a more pronounced and authentic rose flavor.
- To prevent the friands from sticking to the pan, ensure your baking tins are well-greased and dusted with flour or powdered sugar.
- For added texture, consider topping the friands with a sprinkle of sliced almonds before baking.
- Allow the friands to cool completely before removing them from the tins to maintain their shape and prevent crumbling.
These rose and vanilla friands are a delightful and elegant dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of almond, powdered sugar, and subtle rose and vanilla flavors creates a refined taste that is both unique and memorable. Whether you're an experienced baker or just starting out, these friands are a simple, yet splendid addition to your baking repertoire.
