chocolate hazelnut friands

the egg whites has been frozen for more than a month, i think.
so, after 5pm i searched for friands recipe.. since i like it so much ;)
the taste is very different from your normal cake - sponge or butter
well.. its more buttery but its light & airy
and when u munch u'll feel the nuts
mcm rangup2 tapi tak rangup, crunchy2 tapi takla sangat
aiya.. am really bad at describing things & taste!

asal friands adalah dari financiers (france) yg bermaksud gold bar
tapi kalau dah di coklatkan.. jadi coklat bar ajalah ye :p
and normally it uses almond meal..
since i have abundance of hazelnuts..
i just follow through the recipe.. using hazelnut meal

resepi dari 80breakfasts
bahan2:

• 1cwn hazelnut meal (tepung hazelnut atau grind sendiri hazelnut hingga hancur)
• 1/2cwn tepung
• 1/4cwn serbuk koko
• 1/2sdk baking powder
• 1 2/3cwn gula aising <-- saya kurangkan jadi 1 1/3cwn
• 5biji putih telur
• 200g butter, dicairkan & biar sejuk suhu bilik

tatacara:

1. panaskan oven 160C dan gris loyang friands (muffin pan pun boleh. saya guna loyang tartlet)
2. ayak tepung, koko, baking powder dan gula aising kedalam mangkuk.
3. gaulkan hazelnut meal bersama2 tepung yg dah diayak.
4. kacau putih telur dgn garfu (sikit2 ja) dan gaulkan dgn adunan tepung+hazelnut tadi.
5. masukkan butter cair dan gaul sebati.
6. tuang kedalam loyang dan bakar selama 15-20minit atau sehingga springy bila disentuh.

verdict:
