Introduction
Friands are delicious little almond cakes, perfect for afternoon tea. They are a great way of using up leftover egg whites. You can use different sorts of meal instead of almond - e.g. hazelnut or pistachio, but I like almond best. Also you can use different fruit or put choc chips or whatever in... If you don't have a friand tin or friand pans, you can use a normal muffin tin. You can also make mini friands in a mini muffin tin - take about 15 minutes to cook.

- 7 ounces melted butter
