How to make macarons:

ingredients:

3 egg whites

¼ cup white sugar

1 cup almond flour

1 ¾ cups powdered sugar

Pinch of salt

Assorted food colouring 

directions:

  1. In a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, the almond flour, and the salt. Sift the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. 

  2. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites until whites are foamy. Beat in white sugar and continue beating until egg whites are fluffy and soft peaks form. If desired, add food colouring to this mixture.

  3. Add the almond mixture into the egg whites, 30-35 strokes. 

  4. Transfer the batter into a piping bag with a round tip. Pipe the batter onto a rimmed baking sheet, leaving each macaron 1-inch apart. 

  5. Let the macarons sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour until they form a hard shell on top. 

  6. Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).

  7. Bake the macarons about 10-15 minutes and let cookies cool completely before filling.
