Makes 12

Ingredients

160g ground almonds
375g white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g butter
¼ cup milk
3 eggs, separated
¼ tsp salt
½ cup rice flour
½ tsp gluten-free baking powder
raspberries, frozen or fresh

 

Method

Combine the almonds, sugar, vanilla, melted butter and milk in a large bowl. Add the egg yolks and mix together.

In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form. Lay the egg white on top of the almond mixture.

Sift the rice flour and baking powder on to the egg whites and gently fold everything together.

Spoon the mixture into well-greased moulds.

Place a few raspberries on each.

Bake at 160degC for about 25 minutes until the friands have a golden top and spring back when pressed.
