Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (100g) almond flour
- 1 ¾ cups (200g) powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites, room temperature
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Gel food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together to ensure a fine, lump-free mixture.
- Whip egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until the batter flows like lava.
- Pipe small circles onto a lined baking sheet, tap to release air bubbles, and let rest for 30-60 minutes.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15-18 minutes, rotating halfway, then cool completely before filling.
Notes
- Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements.
- Ensure all equipment is grease-free for proper egg white whipping.
- Let macarons develop a skin before baking to prevent cracking.
- Store filled macarons in an airtight container in the fridge for best texture.
