Blueberry & lemon friands
Friands are small French-inspired cakes, similar to financiers, known for their crisp exterior and moist, almond-rich interior. These friands feature ground almonds, egg whites, and butter, brightened with lemon zest and studded with blueberries. They come together quickly, mostly in one bowl, and bake up golden brown in under twenty minutes. A light dusting of icing sugar finishes them off, making them a simple treat for an afternoon tea or a light dessert.
