I am going to show you how to make macarons for beginners. This a chocolate macarons recipe but I have other ones you can try like this Rosewater macaron which you can flavour anyway. It is a great recipe for beginners too.

They go really well with a lot different fillings, look at the filling suggestions at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong> (Makes about 16 sandwiched ones, but will depend on the size you pipe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

75g ground almonds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100g icing sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 tablespoons cocoa powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 large egg whites<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50g caster sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pinch of salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the ground almonds, salt, cocoa powder and icing sugar into a bowl and mix together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line two baking sheets with baking parchment or greaseproof paper. Using a pencil, draw circles on the paper as a template when it comes to piping. Turn the grease proof papers over because if you do not turn it over you will have pencil marks on your macarons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Place the egg whites in a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks appear. Gradually whisk in the caster sugar to make a firm, glossy meringue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a spatula, fold the almond mixture into the meringue, one half at a time until thoroughly mixed. The mixture should run off, slowly, from the spatula<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm or 1\/2 an inch round nozzle. Pipe 32 rounds onto the the baking parchment.
Tap the baking sheets firmly onto a work surface to remove air bubbles. Use a toothpick to pop any bubbles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until a crust forms on top. Preheat the oven to 160\u00b0C\/325\u00b0F<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes then carefully remove the macarons from the baking paper. Leave to cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
