These gluten-free almond friands are chewy, moist and oh-so light. Delicious eaten fresh from the oven.

Press GO to start step-by-step mode and keep your screen awake as you cook.
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan assisted/gas mark 6. Grease a 12-hole cupcake or muffin tray with butter or oil spray (a silicone tray is best).
Step 2.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat then leave to cool and set aside.
Step 3.
Sift the flour and icing sugar into a bowl and whisk together, then whisk in the salt and ground almonds, and zest in the lemons.
Step 4.
In a separate bowl, use an electric whisk to beat the egg whites until thick and glossy with stiff peaks forming. Using a spoon, very gently fold the egg whites into the flour and icing sugar mix, then lightly stir in the melted butter. It should come together into a batter.
Step 5.
Spoon the mixture evenly into your prepared cupcake or muffin tray and press a few of the berries into each one. Scatter all over with the flaked almonds and bake for 15–20 mins, or until a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean (avoid skewering the fruit, as this may result in the stick coming out clean before it’s baked properly).
Step 6.
Allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins before transferring on to a wire rack to cool completely.
