Hello, how are you? Today I had two young ladies (Genevieve and friend) in the house practicing for their French oral exam tomorrow. As they were working so hard, I decided to make them food to eat with a slightly French flavour. I made Blueberry Friands and I can tell you they were unbelievably delicious.
The best way to eat them, slightly warmed with a dusting of icing sugar,
accompanied by your choice of hot beverage.
Out of the dozen I made yesterday, only two remain! It's back to good old fashioned homemade Anzac biscuits when the Friands are finished.
I also made delicious baguettes (baguettes from the bakery) for lunch stuffed with turkey, Brie cheese and lettuce. Charlotte sent me a text message saying how much she enjoyed hers just before starting work.
The weather today has turned wintry which has me searching in the cupboard for a warm jumper. To think I was in shorts and a t-shirt yesterday. That's spring for you where I live, very unpredictable.
Take care everyone and thanks for popping by.

Oh my, those friands do look delicious Anne........I've never made them, must get hold of a friand tin. I'm not surprised there's only two left !!
ReplyDeleteYour baguettes sound simply yummy as well and I do love a golden syrupy, oaty Anzac too.
Can't believe it was Wintry down there, as it got to 27 here today and I have only just put a long sleeved top on at 10.30pm.
The rain has stopped but I do hope we get some more,

Hummm! Blueberry Friands looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be there with you...
Have a nice week ahead.
I've never heard of friands but they look lovely. What a sweet mum you are! x
ReplyDeleteI have never made friands but yours look yummy so I might be tempted to!
ReplyDeleteOur Autumn is being very unpredictable, temperature-wise too.
They look very tempting - perfect for helping with revision.
ReplyDeleteAfter being cold last week - this week I'm too warm and having to open windows!
I've never heard of the word friand before - perhaps I'm too simple! They look like buns but are obviously not. - I've just looked them up on Google. They sound and yours look delicious. Is there a recipe in the offing?

It's been freezing!!!
ReplyDeleteBut I got to try out my hood/scarf/turtle-neck/gloves yesterday at the park.
Most excellent.
Even MORE excellent would have been if I could have come home from the freezing park and the fairies had made me friands while I was gone!
What a lovely supportive mother you are. I haven't heard of Friands either but they do look superb ! Good luck to the girls.
ReplyDeleteSpring can be very changeable snow one minute & very hot the next ! We are enjoying a wonderful bright crisp Autumn but my in laws in Scotland have rain, rain, rain...
I've never heard of friands either but they look scrummy, as do the drinks.
