* Note: The size of the eggs is fairly important here. If you
use too much egg white, the macaroons will become very flat
when baking them.
+ 500g sugar
+ 500g ground hazelnuts
+ Whole hazelnuts (one for each macaroon)
- Instructions
+ Beat egg whites until stiff.
+ Stir in sugar.
+ Stir in ground hazelnuts.

+ Form small heaps on a tray using two teaspoons, then add a
whole hazelnut on each heap. Make sure to press the hazelnut
hard enough that it doesn't fall out later.
