Strawberry Friands
I had some egg whites to use up after making ice cream so I asked friends if they had any recipe suggestions. One lovely friend suggested friands and not only gave me her recipe but lent me her friand pan so I could try them out. They were so successful, I bought my own friand pan so I could make them whenever I liked. So next time you have egg whites to use up, use Kylie Gosbell's recipe below!

The strawberries can be replaced with any berry
