These delightful Peanut Macaroons combine the rich, nutty flavor of peanuts with a light, crisp texture. Perfectly sweet and simple to make, they’re an ideal treat for any occasion.
Instructions
- Oil and line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Grind the almonds, hazelnuts and icing sugar together in a food processor to a very fine powder.
- Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks then carefully fold in the nut and sugar mixture. Spon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large plain nozzle and pipe 2 1/2 cm / 1 rounds onto the baking tray.
- Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts then leave it 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. Slide the paper onto cold work surface and leave the macaroons to cool completely.
- Beat the butter until light and fluffy then beat in the icing sugar. Add the milk, then whisk for 2 minutes.
- Spoon the buttercream into the piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and pipe an even round onto half of the macaroons. Sandwich together with the other half.
