Equipment

  • 1 friand tray
  • 1 cupcake tray
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 fork
  • 1 oven

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Grease a friand tray with some of the melted butter (use a cupcake tray if you do not have one).
  3. Place icing sugar and flour in a mixing bowl, add almond meal and stir through with a fork.
  4. In a separate small bowl, beat egg whites with a fork, then add the dry ingredients in the other bowl to the mix. Combine using a fork and then add the lime zest. Mix well.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the tin until each mould is 3/4 full. Drop 2 raspberries in each mould.
  6. Place in the oven on the middle shelf and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the tray 180 degrees (so the part of the tin that faced the front of the oven now faces the back) and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until golden on top.
  7. Cool, and dust with icing sugar to serve.
