Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 140°C (fan-assisted).
- Line baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour and icing sugar. Add lemon zest and mix well.
- In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and continue whisking until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add caster sugar while whisking continuously until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If desired, add a few drops of yellow food colouring and gently fold until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
- Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each macaroon.
- Tap the baking trays on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Let the macarons rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have formed "feet".
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking trays.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cream filling by whisking together the double cream, icing sugar, and lemon zest until thickened.
- Once the macarons are completely cooled, pipe or spoon a small amount of cream filling onto the flat side of half of the macarons.
- Sandwich together with the remaining macarons to form lemon macaroon sandwiches.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature egg whites. Ensure that all equipment used for whisking egg whites is clean and free from any grease or residue.
- Store lemon macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
