I don’t remember where I got this recipe, but it makes a great basic macaron. Perfect GF, grain free, dairy free yumminess. Fill them with lemon curd, jam, ganache…like I said, yumminess.

| A lovely assortment of macarons from a bakery. The options are limitless! |
1 ¼ cup powdered
sugar
½ cup ground
almonds (I grind them in the blender until they are fairly fine. Blanched almonds make for a more uniform
color, but I like using unblanched)
2 large egg whites
(or 3 small ones)
Pinch of salt
2 ½ tablespoons
granulated sugar
1. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
Spray with oil. This really helps
them not to stick later.
2. Stir together
almonds and sugar. Whip egg whites until
soft peaks form. Add almonds/sugar and
continue until batter is stiff and glossy. Add coloring, if you would like. I don't usually.
3. Pipe two inch disks onto the parchment.
You can do this with a large round tip or just a plastic bag with the
corner cut off. Or just use a spoon, but
they won’t match quite so well when you put them together. Let the cookies sit for about 30 minutes or
so on the counter.
4. Heat the oven to 325*. Bake them for 9-10 minutes and
let them cool right on the baking sheet. Make
sandwiches with filling of your choice.
Yumminess!
