My Friend the Friand image

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

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my friands were a complete disaster. They were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my friands didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit dry.
