Kumquat Chocolate Friands 金吉巧克力费南雪

These chocolate friands are very flavorful with almond meal, cocoa powder and orange zest. The addition of kumquat marmalade in the middle did indeed help to enhance the flavour of the chocolate friand. I kept the leftover friands in an airtight container, overnight in room temperature and they even tasted better the next day.

     100g melted butter
     50g plain flour

     kumquat marmalade as filling

      Method:

• Preheat oven to 180 deg C. Grease 2 mini muffin pan well with butter.

• Lightly whisk egg whites and pour into dry ingredients, followed by melted butter. Stir until well combined.
• Divide chocolate mixture half full into prepared pans. Add about a teaspoon of kumquat marmalade, then top up with chocolate mixture just about full.
