Method
Preheat oven 180ºC fan forced.
- Beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl for 1 minute using an electric beater.
- Combine milk with melted margarine then mix into egg whites.
- Add almond meal into mix on slow speed.
- Add sift icing sugar and flour into the bowl, then gently fold together using a wooden spoon. DO NOT BEAT as this will make the friands tough. The less the mixture is moved the lighter the friands.
- Coat a 12-cup friand tin with cooking spray, then spoon equal amounts into 12 holes.
- Place about 3 raspberries in each friand. Press raspberries down so they are covered with mixture.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until firm to touch on the centre. Leave in pan for a few minutes before turning friands out onto a wire rack to cool.
Suitable to be frozen.
