Make your favourite cafe fare at home with these zingy lemon friands.

1/2 cup (75g) plain flour, sifted
1 1/2 cups (175g) almond meal
1 1/3 cups (200g) pure icing sugar, sifted, plus extra to dust
5 eggwhites
200g unsalted butter, melted, cooled
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon curd, plus extra to serve
Whipped cream (optional), to serve

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 10-hole friand pan or line with paper cases.
2.

Combine the flour, almond meal and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggwhites with a fork until foamy, then add to dry ingredients with butter and zest, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Divide batter among friand pans. Place 1/2 teaspoon of curd on top of each friand and use a wooden skewer to swirl through batter.
3.

Bake for 20 minutes or until light golden. Cool, then dust with extra icing sugar. Serve with extra lemon curd, and whipped cream if desired.
