A vintage linen napkin from the Peppergreen antique emporium, Berrima
Notes
These friands are not baked in the traditional mold but in a muffin tray lined with squares of baking paper for a rustic look.
Ingredients
1 cup almond meal
3/4 cup plain flour
1 3/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
5 egg whites
125g butter melted
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180C. Cut squares of baking paper approx 18cm square, (or purchase pre-cut muffin baking paper liners from your local supermarket) and grease and line a 12 hole muffin tray. In a large bowl sift together the sugar, flour and baking powder then add the almond meal. In a separate bowl lightly whisk the eggs whites and with a light hand, stir through the dry ingredients. Stir in the butter followed by 3/4 of the raspberries and chocolate chips. Spoon into the prepared tray and top with the remaining raspberries and chocolate chips. Bake for 20-25min. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tray for 5min then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Delicious served still warm!
Isn’t the Peppergreen antique emporium the most amazing place? I could get lost in there for days.
Love the sound of that recipe, I just need to convince the other half that we don’t always have to turn egg whites into pavolva.
It is the most amazing place! We got married just over the road from there and it was all I could do to restrain myself from a quick pop in before the ceremony!
Al, I LOVE how you have illustrated that beautiful napkin. I think this may be my favourite illustration so far! Every week every illustration is so different; I always look forward to my email alerts. gx
Thank you Germaine! Drawing lace and embroidery is extremely satisfying, getting into all those little details!
