Peach Friands - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup Powdered sugar, sifted, plus more for dusting
1 cup, plus 2 tbsp ground almonds
2/3 cup plain flour, sifted
3/4 cup butter, melted
6 large egg whites
14-15 oz can peach slices in natural juice, drained, chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to moderate, 350\u00b0F. Lightly grease a 12-cup friand pan (or muffin pan).
In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, almond meal and flour. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and blend in butter, stirring gently until just combined.
In a clean bowl, lightly whisk egg whites until frothy and fold through almond mixture. Blend in 3/4 of the chopped peaches.
Spoon mixture evenly into prepared pan. Top each with a couple of pieces of reserved peaches.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked when tested with a skewer. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar.
