Description
This lemon macaroons recipe only needs five ingredients to give you that zesty and juicy lemon flavor.
Instructions
- Oil and line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
- Grind the ground almonds, icing sugar and lemon zest together in a food processor to a very fine powder.
- Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks in a very clean bowl then carefully fold in the almond and sugar mixture with the food coloring.
- Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large plain nozzle and pipe 2 1/2 cm/ 1'' rounds onto the baking tray.
- Leave them to stand for 30 minutes to form a skin.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (150° fan)/ 325 F/ gas 3.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crisp on the outside and still a bit chewy in the middle.
- Slide the greaseproof paper onto a cold work surface and leave the macaroons to cool completely.
- Sandwich together with the lemon curd.
