The recipe for friands in Australia is quite similar to that for a financier in France, namely that the batter is made from beaten egg whites and contains ground almonds. These little cakes are usually quite sweet and moist and are more substantial than your usual muffins.hat a gorgeous variation on a classic lemon drizzle! I adore friands and Katieâs recipes are always fab so I know these would be a winner. 1  These are perhaps one of the best friand recipes Iâve tried, but I could be biased because I happen to love anything with lemon.
