Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Generously butter six non-stick friand or muffin tins. Melt the butter and set aside to cool.

  • step 2

    Sift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl. Add the almonds and mix everything between your fingers.

  • step 3

    Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until they form a light, floppy foam. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, tip in the egg whites and lemon rind, then lightly stir in the butter to form a soft batter.

  • step 4

    Divide the batter among the tins, a large serving spoon is perfect for this job. Sprinkle a handful of blueberries over each cake and bake for 15-20 minutes until just firm to the touch and golden brown.

  • step 5

    Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack. To serve, dust lightly with icing sugar.

Could I double the recipe to make 12

Delicious...had egg whites to use up and didn’t want to make meringues. Will definitely make again

question

Could jam be used in place of fresh fruit ?

Hello, yes you could try putting 1/2 tsp of jam on the top of each friand. Thank you for your question. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team

Just made these as I was fed up of always making meringues with left over egg whites. They were absolutely delicious! I put muffin cases in the tin rather than butter the tin and a few more blueberries and served with vanilla ice cream. Easy to make and delicious - a winner!
