Recipe's preparation

Thermomix Steps

1. Prep the tin
Preheat oven to 180°C.

Grease a 12-hole MINI muffin tin with butter and dust with flour.

Tap out excess flour to prevent sticking.

2. Melt the butter
Add butter (60 g) to the mixing bowl, melt 2 min 20 sec, 60°C, Speed 2.

Transfer to a small bowl and set aside to cool slightly. No need to clean the bowl!

3. Lightly whip egg whites
Insert butterfly whisk. Add egg whites (2 pcs) and whisk 15 sec, Speed 3.5, until frothy.

Remove butterfly whisk

4. Mix dry ingredients & combine batter
Add to the mixing bowl:
Flour (2 tbsp)

Icing sugar (80 g)

Ground almonds (40 g)

Lemon zest (from 1 lemon)

Melted butter (from Step 2)
Mix 10 sec, Speed 2, just until combined.(Use spatula to gentle finish combining if needed. Do not over-mix! The batter should be light.)

5. Fill the muffin tin
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each hole ¾ full.

Place one blackberry on top of each.

6. Bake

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 180°C, until golden around the edges.

Friands are ready when they spring back when lightly touched.

7. Cool & serve

Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Tip

Ground almonds and icing sugar can both be made in the thermomix in advance if required.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
