Berry Friands

Friands are the new cupcakes. These Berry Friands by My Lovely Little Lunch Box are a simple and tasty sweet treat. Filled with mixed berries and topped with All Natural Buttercream Icing, they make the perfect addition to your at-home high tea.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Grease 10 holes of a friand tin. Set aside.
  2. Sift the flour and icing mixture into a large bowl. Add the almond meal and whisk to combine. Add the egg whites, melted butter, vanilla and lemon zest and whisk to combine.
  3. Evenly divide the batter between the prepared tin. Top each friand with a few berries. Bake for 20-25 mins or until a skewer inserted removes cleanly.
  4. Allow the friands to cool for 5 mins before carefully removing from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. To make the buttercream icing, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until pale. Gradually add buttercream icing mix and water, beating continuously until smooth, approximately 3-5 mins.
  6. Top each friand with a generous spoonful of buttercream, top with berries and dust with icing sugar.
