Pineapple Friands

Wednesday, February 27, 2013 18:11

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I’ve wanted a friand pan for a while and I’m so happy that my good friend brought the pan back from Australia finally. Friands are small tea moist cakes usually contain almond meal, egg whites and fruit. Since I still have half fresh pineapple leftover from my previous post ~ Making Dried Pineapple Flowers, I made Pineapple Friands the next day. The small cakes are soft and very fragrant but a little greasy after baked. I’ve to use paper towel to dab off the excess oil. Not sure whether the problem was too much butter added or I’ve not mix the batter properly but they definitely taste better the next day. Keep the small cakes in a container and into the refrigerator. Then cover the cakes loosely in aluminium foil and reheat in a toaster oven for about 8-10 minutes at 180 degrees C. Great to serve warm at anytime of the day.
Before you go on to read my recipe, I wanted to say I’m very honoured and excited to have been interviewed by the co-founder Pauline Wong of Munch Ministry two days ago. Please head over to Munch Ministry to read this short interview when you’ve the time.

This small tea cake looks so lovely with the dried pineapple flower on it.

Pineapple Friands

Ingredients: recipe adapted from Taste.Com with slight modification

6 Egg whites (about 235-240g)
100g Icing sugar (about 1 cup)
95g Plain flour (3/4 cup)
60g Almond meal (3/4 cup)
200g Butter, melted
1/2 cups Macadamia nuts (did not add)
240g Fresh pineapple, finely chopped, drain away excess pineapple juice ~ do not squeeze

Method:

Preheat oven to 170 degree C. Grease a 12-hole 1/2 cup-capacity oval friand pan
Place egg whites in a bowl. Whisk for 30 seconds or until frothy. Sift sugar and flour over egg whites and mix well with a hand whisk.
Add almond meal, butter and pineapple. Gently stir until just combined with a rubber spatula.
Spoon mixture into prepared holes. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre of 1 friand comes out clean.
Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Turn out onto wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar or snow powder. Serve.
