Raspberry Friands

I had a group of my close girl friends over for a baking session at my place because what is more fun than baking well it has to be baking with great gals. Since most of them do not bake often I decided to start with this fairly easy recipe which requires no effort at all. It's a one bowl recipe where you prepare the dry ingredients and mix it in with the wet ingredients.




Ingredients:
Melted butter to grease
Plain flour to dust 
195gm pure icing sugar sifted
75gm plain flour sifted
155gm almond meal 
3 eggs lightly whisked
180gm butter melted
100gm frozen raspberries
2tbsp flake almonds
Icing sugar to dust

Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 180 deg, brush a muffin tin with melted butter and dust with plain flour.
  2. Combine the sugar, flour and almond meal in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add egg and butter. Stir well until combined.
  3. Divide among among the muffin tin. Place a few raspberries in the centre and sprinkle with flake almonds.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden. Set aside in the pans for 5 minutes to cool slightly before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Dust the friands with icing sugar to serve.



We enjoyed the fruits of our labour with a nice cup of tea and gal chit chat, what a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. This is one of many baking sessions to come, look out for it.
