Cherry friands (gluten free)

I was given a friand tin for Christmas one year and I thought that the oval shape for little cakes was delightful. They will however taste just as good as small cakes cooked in a muffin tin. This recipe has been adapted as gluten free but are enjoyed by all, as they are a real treat.

Ingredients

100g butter, melted and cooled

125g sieved icing sugar

25g Shipton Mill gluten free white flour

85g ground almonds

3 medium egg whites

items to decorate - choose from:

glace cherries (chopped into quarters)

blueberries

raspberries

sultanas

Method

1.  Preheat oven to 200C/gas 6.  Butter six non-stick friand or muffin tins.  Melt butter and leave to cool.

2.  Sift icing sugar and flour into a bowl.  Add the almonds and mix together.

3.  Whisk egg whites separately until they form a light, floppy foam.  Make a well in the dry ingredients, tip in the egg whites, lightly stir in the melted butter to form a soft batter.

4.  Divide the batter between the tins.  Add the decorating items.  Bake for 15-20 minutes until just firm to the touch and golden brown.

5.  Cool in the tins for 5 minutes and then turn onto a cooling rack.
