Friand
The friand, which is popular in Australia and New Zealand, appears to be related to the financier in that it usually uses almond flour and egg whites, though not brown butter. It typically has additional flavorings such as coconut, chocolate, fruit, and nuts. It is also baked in small molds, though typically oval or barquette in shape and larger than a financier.
The French word friand, which means dainty or a gourmet who delights in delicate tastes, refers as well to minced meat and herbs in puff pastry, a food item unrelated to the baked items called friand or financier.
