Macaroons are so easy
to make... If the mixture is too sticky to handle chill it in the
fridge for half an hour. Don't overcook them or they will become very
hard, they will still taste lovely but I prefer them chewy in the
middle.
Ingredients:
- 2 egg whites
- 175g ground almonds
- 175g caster sugar
- a few drops of almond essence
Method:
Preheat the oven to
180°C.
Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold in the
almonds, sugar and almond essence. Roll the mixture into small balls
and arrange in 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
You
can substitute the almonds for shredded coconut, a mixture of ground almonds
and coconut or ground almonds and ground walnuts.
Note: I have read somewhere that they taste better if you preheat the oven to 130C and bake it in a very low oven for approximately 40 minutes. I haven't tried it yet, though.
