Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 200°C. Grease a friand tin REALLY WELL. Melt butter and allow to cool.

Step 2

Sift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl, and mix in the ground almonds.

Step 3

Lightly beat the egg whites with a fork, then fold them into the dry ingredients. Add the cooled, melted butter and lemon rind and mix well until it all comes together.

Step 4

Fill each mould to three-quarters full and place on a tray. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 10 minutes, then turn the tray around, and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back to the touch.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes before gently unmoulding onto a wire rack. Allow to cool.

Step 6

Dust the friands with icing sugar to serve, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
