New Macaron Recipe

I was in Adelaide over the weekend and saw this recipe in one of their foodie magazines. I've modified it slightly, but it looks like it has potential...although the egg white powder is a bit of a hassle to find (they stock it at The Essential Ingredient in small or large tubs).

Ingredients:
5g egg white powder
180g egg whites ('old')
125g caster sugar
225g almond meal
320g icing sugar
2g food colouring of your choice

Method:
Oven temp: 160oC

Whisk egg whites with egg white powder and add caster sugar gradually until medium to stiff peaks form. Add in the food colouring until well distributed.

Fold in the sifted almond meal and icing sugar and continue to fold until the desired consistency is achieved.

Using a piping bag, pipe into rounds and allow to rest until a skin forms (anywhere between 10 mins to 6 hours!)

Bake for 13-15 mins (probably closer to 13 mins) and allow to cool.

Sandwich with your filling of choice!
