Ingredients for French Macaroons Recipe
Egg whites (140 grams) 4 large
Castor sugar (caster sugar) (70 grams) 1/3 cup
Icing sugar (230 grams) 1 1/2 cups
Almond powder (120 grams) 1 cup
Blue food colour gel a few drops
For filling
Dark chocolate 1 cup
Fresh cream 1/2 cup
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 150°C.
Step 2
Sift the almond powder, icing sugar and salt twice, discarding any almond lumps that are too big to pass through the sieve.
Step 3
Place egg whites and castor sugar in a bowl and mix with electric mixer till stiff so that when bowl is turned upside down egg should not fall off. Continue to whip for one to two minutes more. Add gel or powdered food colouring and continue to mix for a further twenty seconds.
Step 4
Fold one third of the egg white mixture into the almond powder mixture, mix well. Mix together the remaining egg white mixture and mix well. It should take roughly thirty folds using a rubber spatula. The mixture should be smooth and very viscous, not runny. Do not over-mix because then your macaroons will be flat and have no foot. Under mix and they will not be smooth on top.
Step 5
Pipe onto trays lined with baking paper, tap tray on the table firmly (this prevents cracking) and leave it for half and hour.Bake in the preheated oven for twenty minutes. Check if a macaroon comes off the tray fairly cleanly, if not bake for a little longer (make sure you are using non-stick baking paper or they will stick).
Step 6
Take the tray out of the oven, let them cool down to room temperature and serve.
