Macarons are one of the prettiest pastries there are. The colourful meringue pieces with the delicate cream filling are not only visually but also tastefully a real temptation.

Zutaten für
For the macarons
120
g
almonds, ground
150
g
icing sugar
2
egg whites
1
Pinch(es)
salt
2
Teaspoon(s)
sugar
Preparation
Prepare the macarons
1
Finely chop/grind the almonds with the icing sugar and pass through a sieve.
2
Beat the egg whites with the salt and sugar until stiff and colour as desired.
Tip: The egg whites are easier to work with if they are already a few days old (and have been stored in a cool place, of course).
3
Fold the icing sugar and almond mixture into the beaten egg whites by the spoonful. The mixture should have a creamy and elastic texture.
4
Pipe the macaron mixture evenly onto the macaron baking mat using a perforated nozzle. The circles on the mat should not be filled completely, as the mixture will still run slightly.
5
Preheat the oven to 80°C. Meanwhile, leave the surface of the macarons to dry for 30 minutes.
6
Bake the macarons in the oven for 20 minutes until they have a dry surface.
