Hi guys,

I cooked these this morning and they are great so I thought I would post the recipe for you all.

Lime and Coconut Friands
Ingredients
• 1 cup almond meal
• 1 2/3 cups icing sugar sugar (sifted)
• 3/4 cup plain flour (sifted)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3 tablespoons of dessicated coconut
• 2 teaspoons of grated lime rind
• 125g butter
• 3 tablespoons of lime juice
• 5 egg whites
Directions
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together (almond meal, icing sugar, plain flour, baking powder, dessicated coconut, rind).
2. Melt the butter.
3. Beat the egg whites and mix with the dry ingredients, adding and mixing in the butter and lime juice.
4. Fill a 12-hole muffin or friand mould with the mixture.
5. Bake in a moderate (180C) over for about 15-20 minutes until barely golden.
6. Remove from the oven, let rest in the tray for 5 minutes, then remove them to rest on a cooling rack.

Are they like muffins?
Do you have a piccy of them?

They are like oval cupcakes, but they are really moist because of the almond meal. You can buy friand tins in the supermarket but a cupcake tin would work as well.
