Raspberry Friands
1/2 cup of caster sugar
1/2 cup of plain flour
1/4 cup of ground almond
4 egg whites
125g (4.5oz) of butter, melted
A handful of raspberries, halved
Icing sugar for dusting
Madeleine molds or small fairy cake tins
Combine caster sugar, flour and ground almond in a bowl. Add the egg whites and stir well, then add melted butter and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Spoon the mixture into the tins or molds (pre-greased if required)
Press several pieces of raspberry into the cake mixture in each tin.
Bake in the oven (350F) for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden, test the cakes by skewering with a clean knife, if it comes out clean the cake is ready.
Remove cakes from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Sprinkle with icing sugar just before serving.
You can store the friands in a air-tight container for up to a week.
