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

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.
