How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Friands

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Lightly grease a 9 x 1/2 cup friand pan or line with paper liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together 100g plain flour, 25g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 50g icing sugar. Stir in 50g hazelnut meal and 50g chopped dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher). Create a well in the center.
  4. Add 100g melted unsalted butter and 1 large egg white to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared friand pans, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  7. Let the friands cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with extra icing sugar before serving. Enjoy!
