MY FRIEND THE FRIAND
The friand is a small, moist, dense, rich almondy cake. It is truly awesome. I can never stop at just one. I like to eat it fresh out of the oven, with a tablespoon of fresh cream. Wonderful. If you feel like a treat, add some fresh strawberries with the cream :). From Simple Food by Jill Dupleix

[email protected]I made these friands for a party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. They were so light and fluffy, and the almond flavor was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

[email protected]These friands were a bit of a disappointment. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out dry and crumbly. The flavor was also bland. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making these again.

[email protected]I've made these friands several times now and they are always a hit! They are so easy to make and they are always so delicious. I love that they are not too sweet and they have a lovely almond flavor. I've also tried adding different flavors to them,
