From the Sainsbury seasonal selection of recipes. I haven't tried this yet but am looking forward to. If anyone finds out how many eggs makes 75ml of white, share your discovery (or I will when I get round to it)! Ingredients:
200 g caster sugar |
30 g granulated sugar |
100 g ground almonds |
15 g rice flour (it should be ground rice, not sure if this is the same as rice flour) |
75 ml egg whites |
1 small orange, zest of (or clementine) |
sliced almonds (for decorating the tops) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F, 180C, GM4.
2. Sift the sugars, almonds and ground rice into a bowl.
3. Add the egg white and orange zest, beat thoroughly with an electric beater for 5 minutes.
4. Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes, then continue beating for a further 5 minutes.
5. Pile the mixture into a piping bag, fitted with a 2.5cm plain piping nozzle.
6. Pipe the mixture onto bakewell or rice paper. Press a flaked almond onto the top of each macaroon.
7. Bake until light brown (20-25 min).
