These went viral when I 1st posted this recipe back in 2015..

Macarons
2 egg whites, separate and leave to rest for a few hours
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cups almond powder
1 cup icing sugar

Method
1. Grind almond powder and icing sugar together. Then sift twice disgarding any large bits.
2. Whisk egg whites until the whites are just about frothy 3mins
3. Add the granulated sugar and whisk again for another 3mins on no.8 on your mixer
4. At this point you can add whatever colour you want to use..I used gel colour..3-4 drops..whisk for another 3 min on maximum..the mixture will clump up onto the whisk..it is supposed to be like this😊
5. You now mix in the sifted icing sugar and almond powder in 2 portions. You fold and pat down using a spatula. Do not do this more than 50 strokes. This somehow worked😊..I used a No. 2 nozzle and piped rounds onto baking sheets. You need to tap the tray about 4 times to eliminate the air bubbles and if there are still some..use a toothpock or needle to burst them. Let this rest for about 20 mins. .when you touch the piped macarons it will not stick to your finger.
6. At the point of letting the macarons to rest..you can preheat your oven if you need to. I use a fan assisted oven..no preheating required. Bake at 140 or150°C for 15mins - 20mins.
7. Once baked..let it rest until cool and sandwich with the icing.

Nutella Icing
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cups icing sugar
1/2 c Nutella

Mix butter and Nutella then add the icing sugar. Sandwich the macaron shells together with the icing.

Once piped..I added some gold powder..edible baking gold powder to a sieve and lightly sifted over the macarons. I then used a large straw and lightly blew the dust so that it coats the macarons.

Once baked..I also decided with edible gold leaf and fondant butterflies that I had previously made.
Enjoy!!!😊😊
