- Melt the butter in the microwave for about a minute and leave to one side to cool. Sift the flour, icing sugar and almonds into a large bowl and add the lemon zest.
- Whisk the egg whites until frothy and add to the flour, sugar and almond, then stir in the cooled melted butter.
- Fold the blueberries into the mixture, reserving a few for decoration.
- Divide the mix between the cases and bake for 25-30 minutes depending on your oven.
- Test the cupcakes by inserting a toothpick to see if they are baked, if the toothpick comes out clean and they are golden on top, they are ready. Cool in the tins for 5-10 minutes then cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with a dollop of crème fraiche and top with a couple of blueberries.
