24
macarons50
minutes18
minutesIngredients
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orgeat syrup
- Orange food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, blend the powdered sugar and almond flour until finely ground. Sift the mixture into a large bowl to remove any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and salt, then increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in the vanilla extract and orgeat syrup (and a drop of orange food coloring if using) until just combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter. The mixture should flow like lava and form a ribbon when lifted with a spatula.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe 1-inch circles onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Tap the sheets firmly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface and they are no longer sticky to the touch.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the macarons are set and can be lifted from the parchment without sticking. Allow to cool completely before filling.
The secret to these macarons’ irresistible allure lies in the orgeat syrup, which infuses them with a nuanced almond-orange blossom flavor that’s both exotic and comforting.
Tip: For the smoothest macaron shells, wipe your mixing bowl and beaters with a bit of vinegar or lemon juice before whipping the egg whites to remove any trace of grease.
