almond macaroons

in the previous blog post about making the Lemon Curd, I mentioned that with the two egg whites that were left over I made a few Almond Macaroons ...

 

here is the recipe:

Almond Macaroons.

113 grams (4 oz) ground almonds

1 cup castor sugar

2 egg whites

2 tsp plain flour

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

almond halves

beat egg whites until soft peaks form

gradually add sugar, beat until dissolved

fold in ground almonds, flour and vanilla

spoon or pipe mixture onto lined or greased trays

press almond halves into each macaroon

bake in a slow oven for 15 - 20 mins

leave to cool on tray before removing

makes about 18 macaroons
