Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Combine the almond flour and powdered sugar, sift to remove any lumps, and set aside.
- Add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, and whip to stiff peaks.
- Add the food coloring, and keep whipping until evenly distributed.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue in 3 batches, until you get a thick, glossy batter.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with an 8 mm round tip, and pipe 3 cm rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Tap the sheet gently on the counter to even out the batter, then let air-dry for 30 minutes, until the tops form a thin skin.
- Bake at 150°C (300°F) with convection for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool completely; it helps to slide the parchment onto a cooling rack to stop further cooking.
- Peel the shells off the paper, and sort them into matching pairs by size.
- Sandwich the matched pairs together with your filling of choice.
