Macaron Preparation
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour and powdered sugar together.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture and blend gently.
- Pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small circles.
- Let the piped cookies rest for 30 minutes to form a skin on the surface.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Bake for 15 minutes or until they lift cleanly from the parchment paper.
- Allow to cool completely before filling with buttercream.
Buttercream Preparation
