Friands

Before macarons took over the world, there were friands.  They came on the scene while I was living in the US, and I never did figure out what they were - exactly.  I just knew that every self-respecting cafe had them at one stage.  Well, today I made some (only about 10 years behind the times) and I have to say - I like!  I used up bits and pieces from the fridge - no special shopping - and I ended up with 8 lemon friands.

If they look a bit like eggs - well, that's because I used my egg-shaped wilton cake pan to make them.  All in the spirit of the season of course.  They're packed ready for a delivery tomorrow.
