  • Prepare two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar and mix in a deep bowl.
  • In another deep bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they start to look like meringue. Gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Mix the egg whites with the flour gradually, starting with half of the egg whites and fold with a spatula, then add the other half and finish mixing. The batter should be smooth and without liquid in the center.
  • Place the mixture in a piping bag with a small plain tip.
  • Make small circles of the batter on the baking tray and make sure to leave about 3 cm between each one. Allow them to dry for 60-90 minutes or until touching them does not stick to your finger.
  • Bake the macarons at 120 degrees Celsius for 15-17 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool before peeling off, flip them over.
  • Fill the macarons with your desired filling using a piping bag and place another macaron on top in a sandwich form, done!
