Macarons (the original French macaroons)  : Photo of step #26

Stage 4/24 : 10 min.

Put 2 egg whites, a few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a mixer bowl.

Note: If you have several egg-whites in a bowl, and don't know how many, remember that one white egg is about 35 g.

It is also very important to respect the ratio sugar-almonds-egg white with 35 gr of egg white must imperatively 75 gr of icing sugar and 40 gr of almond powder, if you use a weight of egg whites different from those shown, you can use this little calculator:
Egg white : grams

Beat on high speed until stiff adding the tablespoon of sugar halfway through.
