  To EAR, as commented on the subject of Friand tins, perhaps you could use deep Yorkshire pudding tins/deep small bun tins, or even muffin bun cases in small bun tin trays. Hope this is of some help to you. From Pippa of Wolverhampton.

  To Ear, I think Lakeland have friand tins. I got mine in Australia in a supermarket, but that isn't much help to you! Also TK Maxx often have things like friand tins. It all depends on where you live. As Pippa says you can use muffin tins instead.

  I used tinned apricots,well drained as they are a seasonal fruit here and the recipe worked beautifully. I did make sure they were well drained of the fruit juice. friands are a 'cult' food here in Oz so for once getting hold of the necessary equipment/ingredients was easy.I think next tiem I will add some vanilla.

  I have seen individual tins in Harrods. But the rubber ones are so much better if you can get them.

  I made these in a normal bun tin and there were lovely! I couldn't find any really ripe apricots but quite liked the slight sharpness of the less-ripe apricots against the sweet sponge. Found sieving the ground almonds a bit of a faff as I was left with some in the sieve that refused to go through - so I just put them in as they were :) Look forward to making these with cherries next.....

  Made these tonight with raspberries - very yummy again! But sieveing the ground almonds is a real faff - icing sugar and flour goes straight through, leaving all the almonds in the sieve!

  BroccoliMonster, yes you can freeze them. Airtight container or individually wrapped. They can also be made in normal muffin tins but look so much better from their own special tin!
