LIME & RASPBERRY FRIANDS

When my aunt and uncle from up north suddenly arrived on the doorstep, I had just enough time to whip up a batch of friands – a great standby treat. This recipe for Lime & Raspberry Friands from Taste.com.au was just the ticket, given I had some spare limes hanging around (can’t say that happens very often) and it didn’t disappoint.

I was rather intrigued that the recipe called for simply dumping all the ingredients in at once – my previous Blueberry & Lemon Friands recipe introduced the various components in careful, synchronized order and I must admit to enjoying the reassuring, measured process of cooking step by step. ‘Dump’ I do not. But hey, when in Rome… So dump ’em I did, and it worked out just fine – a beautiful caramelized exterior with a very soft crumb texture – as you’d expect of a good friand.

I didn’t really adapt, though if you like a good hit of lime, you’ll want to increase the zest and lime juice. I barely tasted it to be honest, so I reckon increase to a tablespoon of zest and two tablespoons of juice. And I have to confess, I came unprepared and didn’t have enough raspberries – in fact, I had to go rummaging about in a bag of frozen mixed berries to salvage a mere handful of them. So, rather than mixing them into the batter, I stuck a few on top. But hey, they were still divinely yummy. Hope you enjoy!
