Macaroons



Yes, you guessed it, you need egg whites to make macaroons apparently. This shouldn't really count as a recipe, as there no separate recipe list, but I've made it, so i'm going to count it.

- Mix 150g of ground almonds, with 200g castor sugar and stir in 2 egg whites.
- Add 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
- Pipe into 5cm rounds onto baking parchment, adding an almond in the middle.
- Cook for 20 mins at 160c.

I cooked them in 3 batches, cooking each for slightly less time. The ones brown all over, were all crunchy after they'd cooled, whereas the ones slightly browned on the outside, were still chewy in the middle and just about perfect. I'm definitely going to be making more of these - easy, delicious and look impressive!
