Lemony Prune Friands


I had some egg whites left from making ice cream and not to put them to waste, I made these lemony friands for afternoon tea.  Tossed in some pitted prunes to enhance the flavour and taste.





Recipe for Lemony Prune Friands

    Ingredients

    • 100 gm melted butter, cooled
    • 125 gm icing sugar
    • 40 gm plain flour 
    • 70 gm almond meal 
    • 3 medium egg whites
    • Zest from 1 lemon
    • 85 gm pitted prunes, chopped
    Method
    1. Lightly grease and flour the Friand pan.
    2. Sift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl, add almond meal, mix well.
    3. Whisk egg whites till light and floppy.  Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, tip in the egg whites and lemon rind, then lightly stir in the melted butter to form a soft batter.
    4. Scoop the batter into the pan and sprinkle some chopped prunes over each cake.  Bake for 15 - 20 mins.
    5. Cool in the pan for about 5 mins. turn out and dust with icing sugar before serving.
    6. Yield :  9 Friands

    Hi Soke Hah, I know these are good especially with the almond meal. Next time I must remember to bake these when I have egg whites. Bookmarked.

    Hi Cheah! I will keep this recipe in mind for using up egg whites. Sometimes I end up throwing them away. What a waste!

      Instead of throwing them away, you can just fry them up or add in your fried rice... yum!

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Durian Butter Cake ~ 榴莲牛油蛋糕

  It's the durian season again and I'm sharing with you a simple yet fragrant Durian Butter Cake.  This recipe does not use the traditional butter totally, in fact there is oil too.  Liquid oil tends to make the cake softer and stays moist longer as it does not solidify at room temperature.  This cake is soft and moist with a tinge of durian flavour and aroma.  A breakfast or Tea time snack for durian lovers. Durian Butter Cake ~  榴莲牛油蛋糕 Ingredients 150 gm unsalted butter 190 gm plain flour 2 tsp baking powder 30 ml vegetable oil 85 gm caster sugar 3 'L' eggs 130 gm pureed durian flesh 4 Tbsp milk a pinch of salt 1/4 teaspoon vanilla Method Sift flour with baking powder and salt.  Set aside. Beat butter with sugar till well blended, add in oil and continue beating till pale and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, mix well. Add in pureed durian flesh, mix till well incorporated. Sift in again the sifted flour in 2 batches, alternating with the milk.  Fold in till well inc
