Ingredients

1/2 cup gluten-free plain flour
1/2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
180g gluten-free icing sugar
100g almond meal
1 orange zested
100g butter melted
3 eggs lightly beaten
100g poppy seeds
2 tbs orange juice

Method

Step 1

Preheat fan-forced oven to 180C. Spray a 12-hole friand tin with canola spray.
Step 2

Sift plain flour, baking powder and icing sugar into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3

Stir in almond meal, orange zest and poppy seeds.
Step 4

Lightly beat eggs with a fork and stir into dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter and orange juice. Mix will be quite 'wet'.
Step 5

Spoon into the friand tin, filling two thirds full.
Step 6

Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking after 15 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Step 7

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully loosening the sides of the friands with a flat blade and lift out to cool on a rack.
