After many attempts, I have finally found the perfect recipe for macarons! Although macarons are tiny lil things made essentially out of only egg whites, sugar, and almonds, their texture and creative flavor possibilities make them absolutely irresistible.
Beat egg whites until they begin to rise and hold shape
Fold in dry ingredients with a rubber spatula. Make sure there are no streaks of egg whites!
Pour batter in pastry bag.
Pipe batter on parchment paper. ( I drew 1 inch circles)
Bake for 15-18 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
I was so happy when I saw the little foots forming in the oven! :)
I made a lemon buttercream filling for my macarons.
All done!

I'm getting hungry when I see those! Yummy!
But do you know if I could make them with a little bit less sugar? To me they are actually too sweet.
@ annablel: I actually used less sugar than the recipe called for and it didn't mess up the texture! :)

Is that all? Is it really that easy? I think I could make some this weekend if I get almonds here in the Philippines.
I want to thank you!
