Lemon Poppy Seed Friands
A delicious little cake that is perfect to whip up and take to the table whilst still warm as guests arrive. We love the zesty lemon in this recipe, but you could easily swap the lemons for oranges if that's what you have on hand.
Recipe Tester Feedback: “Quick to make, and a great way to use up egg whites (I currently have 50 in the freezer!) Lovely and lemony!" - Gail
