Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start, make sure you have the following ingredients ready:

• 165 g almond flour
• 165 g confectioner’s sugar
• 115 g egg whites (about 4 large eggs)
• 150 g granulated sugar
• Food coloring (optional)

Step 2: Prepare Your Equipment

Ensure you have the following tools:

• Baking sheets
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
• A mixing bowl
• A whisk or electric mixer
• A spatula
• A piping bag with a round tip

Step 3: Sift Dry Ingredients

1. In a bowl, combine the almond flour and confectioner’s sugar.
2. Sift the mixture together to remove any lumps. This step is crucial for achieving smooth macarons.

Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites

1. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using a whisk or electric mixer.
2. Continue to beat until soft peaks form.
3. Gradually add the granulated sugar while beating, until the mixture becomes glossy and stiff peaks form.

Step 5: Combine Mixtures

1. Carefully fold the meringue into the sifted almond flour and sugar mixture.
2. Use a spatula to gently combine until the batter flows off the spatula in a thick ribbon. Be cautious not to over-mix, as this can affect the texture.

Step 6: Pipe the Macarons

1. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
2. Pipe small circles (3-4 cm in diameter) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
3. Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Step 7: Dry the Macarons

1. Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. They should develop a skin that feels dry to the touch before baking. This step is essential for achieving the signature macaron "foot."

Step 8: Bake the Macarons

1. Preheat your oven to 150-160 degrees Celsius (300-320 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Bake the macarons for 15-16 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
3. Once done, let them cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.

Step 9: Fill the Macarons

Once cooled, you can fill your macarons with your choice of filling, such as buttercream, ganache, or fruit preserves.
