Berry Friands - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup almond meal (100g)
1 1/4 cups icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5 egg whites
125 g butter or 125 g margarine
3/4 cup plain flour
1/3 cup blueberries

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Melt the butter either in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat on the stove. Set aside.
Sift the icing sugar, flour and baking powder together into a large bowl. Add the almond meal and stir to combine.
Add the egg whites and stir to combine.
Add the butter and stir to combine. Don't worry if there are a few lumps, just make sure there aren't too many. Mixture should be medium thick.
Lightly grease 10 muffin cups of about 1/2-cup capacity. If your tray has 12, grease 10 and fill the remaining cups with water.
Spoon 2 tablespoons into each cup, then sprinkle 2-4 blueberries on top.
Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until they spring back lightly when touched.
