Pineapple Friands 凤梨费南雪
I’ve wanted a friand pan for a while and I’m so happy that my good friend brought the pan back from Australia finally. Friands are small moist tea cakes usually contain almond meal, egg whites and fruit. Since I still have half a fresh pineapple leftover from my previous post ~ Making Dried Pineapple Flowers, I made Pineapple Friands the next day. These small cakes are soft and very fragrant but a little greasy after being baked. I’ve to use paper towel to dab off the excess oil. Not sure whether the problem was too much butter added or I’ve not mixed the batter well enough but they definitely tasted much better the next day. Keep the small cakes in a container and into the refrigerator. Then cover the cakes loosely in aluminium foil and reheat in a toaster oven for about 8-10 minutes at 180 degrees C. Great to serve them warm at anytime of the day.
This small tea cake looks so lovely with the dried pineapple flower on it.

now seeing your beautiful pineapple friands, i regret that i didnt buy the friand pan during my visit to aust the other time. Ann, they are truly beautiful, i'm very sure they tasted great!
So that pan is for making friands ! I've seen a silicon version of it last time 😀 Your friands look certainly delicious ! Will lurk at Munch Ministry after this ;D
Hi Ann,I have extended our Little Thumbs Up pineapple event until end Feb. Will be happy to link your beautiful pineapple friands post with us :DCheers!Zoe
Hi Zoe, thank you for extending the event. Really appreciate it 🙂
Wow! Another beautiful creation…love the cheery look of these friands.
These are delightful and gorgeous!
Looks really beautiful and bet it must be very delicious too! Wish I could have one from you to try first! Indeed, a THUMBS UP to you!
Thanks Mel! I definitely love to bake for you when you're here 🙂
Hi I just made some of these pineapple friands with the flower!! Tasted soo delicious!! The pineapple flavour was nice and strong but also not too sweet!!! Just a note to those who are planning to make this to reduce the amount of butter used as it was quite greasy. Thank you for the recipe! ♡ can't wait to make it again!
Thank you for trying this pineapple friands. 🙂
Please leave your name when you're here next time :))
Love both your pineapple flowers and those cute friands! Yes, they are greasy, but they taste really good.
That looks totally beautiful. I didn't know friands needed a separate pan, even though it looks a bit like a cupcake pan too.. 😉
This sound like a perfect combo!
The Friands look so pretty with the dried pieces of pineapple on top. Bet they taste yummy too with the pineapple bits. Lovely clicks, Ann!
Ann, 我也来给你 多多的Thumbs Up !
I like friand coz it is more healthier than cake. Loves ur idea of dried pineapple flower. Will try out this.
These cakes looks yummy!!! I give you additional marks A+ for the beautiful pineapple flowers 🙂
Thank you Esther, **muak! muak!.. hahaa
These friands look so moist and delicious… I reckon can use a muffin pan also?
Yes you can bake this in muffin pan too but monitor the baking time carefully.
加了干黄梨花,真的有锦上添花的感觉哟 🙂
那底面也很可爱,等下一次拍照的时候,就反过来拍。
Ann, these cakes must be so yum, yum, yummy! Do you think it will work in a muffin pan?
Hi Ann,我是第一次认识Friands这种蛋糕呢!原来是很香, 很moist还很特别的一种小糕.还有它私家的烤盘呢!!配上黄梨花真的美的很哦!!要谢谢你把你的贴子link到我们的''小姆子说好'的活动,你的参与让我们的活动更热闹哦 (^^)/mui
Hi Mui Mui,
哈哈。。。第一次已中文留言哦!
是啊,这小蛋糕主要用蛋白,比较健康,而且很容易做。
呵呵。。。我就是等那私家烤盘,等到颈项都长了 :DD
不用客气,大家开心就好。
我一定回支持你的!
Hi, Ann, friands seem to be very popular in Australia, even Gloria Jeans have them & William also loves it but I never make them coz have to buy another pan to make them, hai, so I better just appreciate from you~ Or unless William will accept my chiffon cake first, haha! Will pop over to the Munch Ministry to see the interview!
Jessie, I love the cute little shape that's the reason why I want to buy the friand pan. Will bake another one soon.
Thank you 🙂 That was a very short interview.
Loved the cake… and those pineapple flowers. awesome
Thanks Vimitha!
Hi Ann! Another interesting cake and something new to me… You can't get the pan in Singapore?
我也忍不住给你多多个拇指。
不过,我的拇指是有点皱皮皱皮的啦。
哈哈。。。
谢谢!无所谓啦!很感激你的多多个拇指 😀
这个很特别哟:)我喜欢~~

wow Ann, these friands are ever so inviting with pineapple chips!
YUM! Another fabulous pineapple recipe that I love to try for my hubby who loves this fruit. I've made some dried pineapple flowers too for my cheesecake. They're very decorative & easy to make too. 😉
Kit, cheesecake with dried pineapple flowers must be very delicious and pretty! Will check on your post later.
Those pineapple flowers look too good to eat. Well almost, I'd love to chomp on a few with those moist little cakes. Hope all is well with you Ann!

Hi Gina, thank you for your compliment 🙂

Thanks Stephanie 🙂

Thank you, Cheah 🙂

I think the silicon friand mould is much lighter. You can also bake muffin with the pan.
Hi Ann! Another interesting cake and something new to me… You can't get the pan in Singapore?
No 🙁 My friend bought the pan at the summer sales.
Ann， 我也来给你 多多的Thumbs Up ！
哈哈。。。让我来算一下有多少个拇指 😀
这个很特别哟：）
