Ingredients
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 cup superfine sugar
• 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, almond or mint extract
• 2 to 3 drops gel food coloring
• Filling of your choice
Special Equipment That You Need
• 4 baking sheets
• Oven with convection setting
• Fine-mesh sieve
• Pastry bag with 1/4-inch round tip
Method
1. First of all, you have to preheat the oven up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit with the help of the convection setting.
2. Now you have to line three baking sheets with the silicone mats. You have to carefully measure up the almond flour as well as confectioners' sugar by just spooning these things into the measuring cups. Level them up with the help of a knife.
3. Put these items into the bowl and whisk them properly until they combine well.
4. It is time to sift up the almond flour and sugar mixture but a little each time through the fine mesh sieve into a big bowl by pressing with the rubber spatula to exceed through. It would only take 3 to 4 minutes. Around 3 tbsp coarse almond flour would be left behind that you have to toss.
5. Beat the cream of tartar, eggs whites as well as salt with the mixer until it gets thick. Add the superfine sugar into the froth and then beat it until it gets shiny.
6. Put the egg whites into the bowl with the almond flour mixture. Make a rubber spatula but just halfway with the mixture and then fold it. You have to provide the bowl apart turn with every fold.
7. It is time to add up the food coloring. But keep folding, turning and scraping down the bowl till it becomes very smooth and falls off the spatula in an even ribbon.
8. Put this batter to the pastry bag fitted with the round tip of 1/4-inch. You have to hold the bag vertically yet next to the baking sheet. Pipe up the 1 1/4-inch circles that would be 24 per sheet.
9. You have to tap the baking sheets two times against the counter to evacuate the air.
10. When the cookies will set up at room temperature then the tops would be no longer sticky when touched. This step would take around 10 to 40 minutes as it depends completely on the humidity.
11. You have to slip the other baking sheet below the first batch. It will be helpful in protecting the cookies from the heat.
12. Now bake the first batch till the cookies become shiny and rise about 1/7 inch to form the “foot” around 20 minutes.
13. Put them on the rack and let them cool. Do repetition by using the double sheet for every batch.
14. You need to peel the cookies from the mats and sandwich them with the thin layer of the filling of your choice. Your macarons are ready!
