Although I’ve been to France countless times, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a friand on sale there. Yet the first time I tasted one, back in the mid-’80s in New Zealand, I was told they were a cake to be found all over France! Clearly I had been frequenting the wrong cafés and shops. Friands of varying flavours and persuasions can be found sitting on counters in many New Zealand and Australian cafés alongside an eclectic selection of muffins, biscuits, lamingtons and fairy-cakes.

Dates and figs are an unusual and excellent combination for these friands.
I have made these friands many times now and have pared back some steps - still the friands taste marvelous. They freeze well too. It is a good investment to get a proper friand tin that is also non-stick. I butter and flour only the bottoms of the cavities. When the friands are left to firm up a bit they can be removed easily.
