These friands are flavoured with dried apricot, one of the better looking dried fruits due to their lovely orange colour. What's more, their subtle flavour blends well with other flavours without getting lost completely. It may seem I've over done it here, soaking the friands with a ginger syrup as they are deliciously moist already (thanks to the almonds). But the syrup makes them simply melt in the mouth, and I mean melt.
