Macaroons

 Recipe from chef patrick

Ingredients :
There is one of my oldest recipe. It is a very simple recipe that will assure you of a perfect result every time.

For a full baking tray of macaroons:
250g ground almonds
250g icing sugar
4 egg whites
35g strong flour
2 table spoons of liquid honey
1 packet of vanill sugar or few drops of vanilla extract

Direction :
First, start your oven at 180C/ 356F.
In a large bowl, put your ground almond and make a well. In this, put your icing sugar, the vanilla sugar and the flour. Mix well and form another small well while incorporating the raw egg whites. Then, add the honey. The dough must be very soft.
Put this mixture into a piping bag. Line a baking tray with some greaseproof paper and form little moles of about 1 inch in diameter.
Bake them for 15 to 20 minutes at 180C/ 356F.
Your macaroons will be cooked when they will start taking a light golden brown colour.
To easily remove them from the greaseproof paper pour some water between the sheet of paper and the baking tray.
Store them in a dry place.
