Ingredients
  

  • 250 g almond flour
  • 250 g sugar
  • 3 egg whites about 100 g
  • 1 tsp bitter almond extract optional, but traditional
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) with the fan on. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and sugar.
  • Add the egg whites (no whipping needed, just liquid) and the bitter almond extract. Mix until you have a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
  • With slightly damp hands or using two spoons, shape the dough into small balls and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them out a bit.
  • Lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the macarons are lightly golden but still soft in the center.
  • Let them cool on the baking sheet before gently lifting them off.
