Ingredients You’ll Need
(Full measurements in the recipe card below)
Dry Ingredients
- • 100g Almond Flour — sift well for smooth shells
- • 100g Powdered Sugar — keeps shells glossy and sweet
- • Food Color — optional, gel works best
Wet Ingredients
- • 60g Egg Whites — aged overnight for better meringue
- • 5 tbsp Granulated Sugar — whipped in to form stiff peaks
Substitutions
| Ingredient | Swap |

| Powdered Sugar | Blend granulated sugar until fine |
| Food Color | Turmeric or beet powder for natural color |
How to Make It — Step by Step
Sift Dry Mix
Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together twice. Discard any large pieces. This gives you a smooth, lump-free macaron shell.
Make Meringue
Beat egg whites until foamy, then add granulated sugar one spoon at a time. Whip to stiff, glossy peaks. Add food color if using.
Macaronage
Fold dry mix into meringue in batches. Fold until batter flows like lava and a ribbon holds for 10 seconds. Do not over-mix or under-mix.
Pipe and Rest
Pipe 1.5 inch rounds on a lined tray. Tap tray firmly to release air bubbles. Let rest 30 to 45 minutes until a dry skin forms on top.
Bake
Bake at 150 degrees C for 13 to 15 minutes. You will see feet form around 6 minutes. Cool fully before filling and sandwiching together.
Tips for the Best Result
Separate your egg whites 24 to 48 hours ahead and leave them uncovered in the fridge. This removes excess moisture and helps you get stiff, stable peaks that are key to perfect macaron shells.
Always sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together and discard any large pieces. Lumps in the batter will cause bumpy tops instead of the smooth, shiny shells you are looking for.
Fold the batter until it flows like lava and falls off the spatula in a thick ribbon. Under-mixed batter gives you cracked tops, while over-mixed batter spreads flat with no feet, so stop as soon as it reaches the right consistency.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
They were not rested long enough before baking. Let piped shells sit uncovered for 30 to 60 minutes until a dry skin forms and they do not stick to your finger.
This usually means the batter is over-mixed or the oven temperature is too low. Make sure your meringue is stiff and your oven is properly preheated.
Yes, you can pulse blanched almonds in a blender and then sift thoroughly, but store-bought fine almond flour gives the most reliable results.
A hand mixer works perfectly well. The key is to whip the egg whites to stiff, glossy peaks, which takes about 8 to 10 minutes on high speed.
