Title: Macaron (French Macaroon)
Categories: Five, Cookies, Snacks, Desserts, Nuts
Yield: 8 Servings
3 lg Egg whites
1/4 c White sugar
1 2/3 c Confectioners' sugar
1 c Fine ground almonds
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
Beat egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with
a whisk attachment until whites are foamy; beat in white
sugar and continue beating until egg whites are glossy,
fluffy, and hold soft peaks. Sift confectioners' sugar and
ground almonds in a separate bowl and quickly fold the
almond mixture into the egg whites, about 30 strokes.
Spoon a small amount of batter into a plastic bag with a
small corner cut off and pipe a test disk of batter, about
1 1/2" in diameter, onto prepared baking sheet. If the
disk of batter holds a peak instead of flattening
immediately, gently fold the batter a few more times and
retest.
When batter is mixed enough to flatten immediately into an
even disk, spoon into a pastry bag fitted with a plain
round tip. Pipe the batter onto the baking sheet in
rounds, leaving space between the disks. Let the piped
cookies stand out at room temperature until they form a
hard skin on top, about 1 hour.
Set oven @ 285°F/140°C.
Bake cookies until set but not browned, about 10 minutes;
let cookies cool completely before filling.
