Recipe
#

  • For 30 macaroon
  • Cooking at 355°F
  • Cooking time 25 minutes

Ingredients
#

  • 200 g icing sugar
  • 160 g almond powder
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 40 g caster sugar
  • dye

If you want to make vanilla macaroons, replace 15 g of icing sugar with 2 sachets of vanilla sugar. For a more chocolatey version, replace 40 g of icing sugar by 40 g of cocoa powder. For a coffee macaroon, pour half a teaspoon of coffee extract.

Preparation
#

  1. Pour the icing sugar and almond powder into a bowl, mix well.
  2. Whisk the egg whites with a small pinch of salt to make them rise better.
  3. When they begin to firm up, add the caster sugar little by little to obtain firm, smooth and glossy egg whites.
  4. If you wish, separate the dough to pour different colourings (5 to 6 drops) according to the flavours you want to put on.
  5. Gradually add the icing sugar and almond powder mixture to the egg whites.
  6. Mix gently so as not to break them.
  7. Preheat the oven to 355°F or 300°F for convection ovens.
  8. Prepare a (cold) baking tray covered with baking paper.
  9. Put the dough in a piping bag and shape the macaroons (or with a spoon).
  10. Space the macaroons well apart by 2 or 3 centimetres.
  11. Bake directly if you have an oven with rotating heat, otherwise let stand for half an hour at room temperature.
  12. Baking time is 11 minutes for rotary heat ovens, 15 minutes for conventional ovens.
    1. If the macaroons colour too quickly, finish baking with the oven door open.
  14. When the macaroons have finished baking, pour water directly between the macaroons to moisten the paper.
  15. After a 1 minute rest, simply detach the macaroons from the moistened paper.
  16. Garnish your small macaroons with jam or ganache of your choice. You can now choose your flavors.
