  3. Add the browned butter, icing sugar, almond meal, flour and salt, whisking until combined. Mix in the lemon zest and white chocolate.
  4. Pour the batter into each mould, until it is ¾ full.
  5. Top each one with half a strawberry.
  6. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before removing from moulds. Makes 12 - 15 friands.
  8. Happy baking!
