...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.
