Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Method
Preheat oven to 220°C. Spray a tray of friand moulds with non-stick baking spray.
Either in the microwave or in a small saucepan, melt the butter until it is liquid and frothy. Pour through a fine sieve and allow to cool. Place the ground almonds, icing sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Add the unbeaten egg whites and mix. Add the melted butter and vanilla and mix well. Spoon in approximately a tablespoon of mixture into each greased mould. Chop apricot halves into small pieces. Place a few pieces (approximately a quarter of an apricot) in each mould then cover with the remaining mixture. Bake for 5 minutes then turn the oven down to 200°C and bake a further 12 - 15 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes before carefully turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
Whiz the remaining apricot halves in a blender with the brandy and a little apricot juice, until it is a smooth puree.
Serve the friands on a little pool of apricot brandy sauce with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. Friands can be stored in an airtight container for 1 - 2 days.
