For those who don't know, a Friand is traditionally made mainly with nut-meal, usually Almond, butter (melted at exactly the right temperature) and only a small measure of flour. Unlike the many oval or rectangular basic sponge cup cakes I see around posing as Friands, ours are the real thing - moist and long lasting. If you've ever eaten one of ours you'll never forget the difference. These were another example of successful in-house development. Based on a recipe from an old and treasured pastry-cook's "bible", all in French, Marc Spender - our R&D specialist at the time, developed eight spectacular flavours - I recommend the Lime!
The last time I had enjoyed a friand was from Out For Lunch at the University of Wollongong. They also serve gluten-free bread and a wide range of products.
It is great to see more cafes and retail outlets offering gluten-free options! Do you know of a cafe or restaurant that offers gluten-free options? Please let me know and I will add it to this blog and the directory of gluten-free Illawarra and Google Map.
