These macaroons, famous since the 16th century, are small, soft almond-flavoured cakes. This recipe is much easier to make than the one for the classic Parisian macarons.

Step by step recipe
Step 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Step 2 - ⌛ 3 min.

Step 3 - ⌛ 3 min.
...and mix thoroughly.
Step 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.

Step 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.
Step 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.
