Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring optional
- Buttercream filling your choice of flavor
Instructions:
Set oven temperature to 300F 150C
Pulse almond flour and powdered sugar in a food processor until thoroughly mixed
Pour mixture into a bowl by sifting
Beat the egg whites in a different bowl until frothy
Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating
Until stiff peaks form, beat
Gently fold the sifted mixture of almond flour into the egg whites until fully incorporated
If desired, add food coloring and vanilla extract
Spoon the batter into a piping bag fitted with a circular tip
Pipe tiny circles onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet
To get rid of the air bubbles, tap the baking sheet against the counter
The macarons should form a skin after 20 to 30 minutes of sitting at room temperature
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are firm to the touch and have risen in the center of the oven
Take them out of the oven and leave them on the baking sheet to cool completely
After cooling, sandwich one macaron shell with your preferred buttercream filling and cover it with another
To allow flavors to meld, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a full day
