Lemon Friands 柠檬费南雪
I love Friand because of its size, healthy because using egg whites and lastly they are easy to make. I’ve made friands before, Pineapple Friands and Blueberry Lemon Friands. For today’s post is Lemon Friands and don’t you think they are cute and pretty? I’ve to thank my friend from Australia who had brought this Friand pan to me when she was here for a short holiday. This pan has contains 20 oval shaped holes instead of the normal 12 and as they are smaller in size therefore the cakes have been reduced to 20.
The French word ‘Friand’ means dainty and these are so cute, soft and moist, so good to eat them with your fingers. You can also bake these small cakes with some berries or fruits and use a small muffin pan instead if you don’t have a Friand pan at home. Great to serve them at anytime of the day.
- 95g Butter
- 60g Plain flour
- 70g Icing sugar
- 60g Almond meal (ground almond)
- 3 Egg whites (105g)
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- Preheat oven to 180C. Melt butter and use a little to grease 20 holes mini friand pan. 12 holes for bigger friand pan.
- Sift the flour and icing sugar into a large bowl, then stir in the lemon zest and almond meal.
- Place egg whites in a small bowl and lightly froth with a fork. Add to dry ingredients with melted butter, stirring until completely combined.
- Fill each friand hole two-thirds full/ Bake for about 20 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven, leave in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Hello Ann! For this step-Place egg whites in a small bowl and lightly froth with a fork. Add to dry ingredients with melted butter, stirring until completely combined-is it stirring with spatula in circular motion till the batter is smooth & lumps free? Or just fold in with spatula? Or just mix with spatula muffin method? Still a novice baker …..worry that I will mess up with the friands. Thanks in advance!
Hi Celine, you can see in most of my chiffon cake recipes, cut the the whisked egg whites in the middle when you place it in the egg mixture. Then flip in the spatula over and fold the mixture gently. Not in circular motion as this will deflates the egg whites.
thanks for the reply!
These friands definitely look so cute, light and spongy! Yumm!
Looking at the photos is making me drool. If only I can have it now ….
Chris, Have a try. Very easy to make without the electric mixer.
halo ann,,may i know do i need to beat e white til soft peak?,,thanks for sharing,,mega–sg
Hi Mega, Not soft peak, Just lightly beat the egg whites with bubbles.
Wow! How lovely they look! Great photos, charming styling and wonderful recipe.
Ann, you always make the difficult stuff looks so easy to make! This friand looks awesome!
Ann your friands look so lovely. I have this friand pan too but every time I removed the friands, the sides tend to break. What is your secret? Did you grease the pan beforehand? I didn't and I suspect I should even though it is a non stick pan.
Hi Veronica, Yes, must grease the pan first. Can use butter or cooking spray so that the cakes can come out nicely.
非常清新的柠檬小蛋糕。好吸引人哦。我要两个可以吗?椭圆形的模子挺特别好看的。like!
Joceline, 没问题,等你来 😀

Aunty Young, 希望没误导你。其实这小蛋糕比kuih bahulu好做多。冷热都很好吃。

Good morning,Glad to hear your big boy enjoyed the cake :)I used cooking spray to grease the pan but you can grease the pan with more butter next time.
Hi, Ann, for Lemon Friands; When to add in 3 egg yolks?
Hi Peifang Wan, There is no egg yolk added in all friand cake recipes, only used egg whites.
Hi Ann, do I bake for 20 mins for mini 20 hole friand? Jaynelle
Hi Jaynelle, Yes you need at least 20 mins to bake for friands to golden on top.
Oltre ad essere deliziosi devono essere anche friabilissimi.Buona serata.Inco
