Step by step recipe
Stage 1
5 min.
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).Put 250 g ground almonds, 240 g icing sugar and 10 g Vanilla sugar into a mixing bowl. Mix well with a whisk.
Stage 2
3 min.
Add 110 g Stage 3
3 min.
...and mix thoroughly.Stage 4
10 min.
Place small heaps of the mixture on a non-stick baking sheet (this is important as the macaroons tend to stick).Do not place the heaps too close together as the mixture will spread a little during cooking.
Stage 5
3 min.
If possible, spray the tops with a little water as this helps them to turn a nice golden brown as they cook.Stage 6
25 min.
Bake for about 25 minutes, watching for colouration.: the macaroons should stay fairly pale, but with a golden brown edge.Unstick the macaroons from the baking sheet while still hot, as this is easier, and leave to cool on a wire rack.
