These little cakes from down under are over the top in delicious flavor and should spread all around the world. Thanks for the video and keep the goodies coming.
Hi Supergirl, friands are very tasty. I love how moist they are and that you can adapt them easily to many different flavours. I hope you enjoy them when you try them.
Thank you Geoff I'll try these and see how they turn out I ordered a oven thermometer so I'll wait until it arrives also I was at Tesco's and saw coconut flour it was cheaper than Holland and Barrett could I bake scones using coconut flour plus I'll add some coconut as well happy baking 😊
HI Karen. When I was buying coconut flour they didn't have it in my local Tesco, but it that didn't surprise me as it is not one of their best stores. As for making scones with coconut flour the thing to remember is that coconut flour is much more absorbent than plain for selfraising flour. It seems, from reading a few articles, that normally substituting 125g of plain flour with about 40 grams of coconut flour is necessary. I don't know how that would affect the texture of the scones. This recipe www.nuicoconut.com/blog/coconut-flour-scones/ is for such scones, but I wouldn't bother with all the other coconut stuff, using butter and milk instead. Good luck when you get the new thermometer.
So I’ve never heard of these before but they seem really good, I think I’ll give them a try. Are these an Aussie or Kiwi treat? As well how did the shape come about?
Hi, I hadn't heard of them either until a few years ago. I am not sure where they originate from, but they are popular in Australian and NZ. From the ingredients they could be considered to be related to the French bake Financiers but they are a completely different shape and size. The shape of the friands is probably an Australian thing, it took me a while to find a friand tin in the UK, but a muffin tin works just as well.
They are quite light, though not as much as would be the case with just flour, since the almonds seem to retain more moisture. But they are deliciously moist. Similar in texture to Financiers.
never had those. Unfortunately I haven't had all that many varied things. It seems we Americans get into a bad habit of food ruts where we eat the same things all the time if we found out we like it and don't venture too far. Hence my mom keeps saying "why do you keep trying all this German crap, why don't you just make chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies?" -.- because I want something different?
Oh Financiers are simply wonderful, though they do take a while to make. Here is my video of my chocolate version ruclips.net/video/AVrVRe3FK1U/видео.html
