Toasted Almond And Strawberry Friands Recipe

• 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon almond flour
• 13 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
• 1/2 cup (about 3 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 5 large egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 medium strawberries, rinsed, dried, hulled and halved

1. Set a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350u0b0F. Spread almond flour on parchment or silicone lined baking sheet and toast for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until toasted and fragrant. Set aside to cool. Leave oven on.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in 30 second bursts in microwave. Set aside to cool.
3. In medium mixing bowl, sift or whisk together toasted almond flour, confectioner's sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk in egg whites and vanilla, then butter. Line a muffin pan with papers and evenly distribute batter, cups will be about 2/3 full. Press a strawberry, cut side down, into top of each, then bake for 10 minutes, turn, and bake until springy to the touch and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes longer. Allow to cool completely before eating. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
