Week Five: Pecan Pie Friands (without Pecans)

Our previous experiment with taking out nuts from Friands didn't work that well... Apparently ( ;) ) it wasn't that great. Saying that, though, I didn't t taste it, hehe. So we are going to have to go nut-free this time again, not just because we have Sophie (who has a nut allergy) in our flat, but because we don't have any nuts on us. Let's see how it goes!

Melting the butter
Whisking the egg whites
I look like I am rather enjoying the whisking here ;) 
The array of awesome appliances on our kitchen bench ;) 
The mixture, without nuts, turned out very liquidly. And then I remembered that last time we added more flour instead of almond flour.

So we added that, and it looked all good. 

Fingers crossed!!

Spooning the Friand mixture into the cupcake tray ;) Sorry to all the Friand tray fans out there who are horrified that we are doing this in a cupcake tray!! 
Placing the toffee chucks onto the Friands

Looking through the oven to see how they rise. That sounds like a nursery rhyme, doesn't it?  :D
The final product after two had been eaten!! Sorry, the picture doesn't look that great, but it sure tasted AMAZING!!
The underside of the Friands actually had a curve going inwards. Would anyone know what this means? 
I am very perplexed why there is a curve on the bottom of the Friands. Maybe there wasn't enough denseness in the mixture ;) Whatever that means ...

Till next time when we will be baking Muffins and Yorkshire Pudding (with all the leftover egg yolks),
