Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 1 min.

In a bowl, mix 100 g ground almonds and 100 g caster sugar with a whisk.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 1 min.

Add 30 g egg white and mix well with a soft spatula until it makes a fairly thick paste.

Your "macaronade" is ready for use.

Stage 3

Typical use: a thin layer on the surface of a cake (here a pistachio cake) before baking.

Remarks

Depending on the quality and age of your almonds, you may need to alter the quantity of egg white to get the right consistency. I suggest you start by putting half the stated quantity in the bowl, then add more as you need.

You can vary this recipe by using ground hazelnuts instead of almonds.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
