    aussiefoodie's Notes: I love these little dense and moist cakes - which are derived from the French 'Financier'. In the summer I like to make ice-cream, and also decided to bake Rivka's Rhubarb curd shortbreads...

Makes 12

  1. Grease 12 holes of a muffin pan, or friand pan. Pre-heat the oven to 400F.

  3. Mix together the ground almonds, brown rice flour and icing sugar. Stir in the melted butter and finely grated zest and juice of the lemon. Mix until combined. Fold in the egg whites until just combined. Divide evenly between 12 muffin pan holes. I like to fill each pan about 2/3 full as it will puff up a little, but won't rise too much. Top each friand with about 6 blueberries.

  4. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden, puffed up and set and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack to cool before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
