Ingredients<\/h2>\n
\n
⅔<\/span> cup<\/span> sliced blanched almonds<\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/span> <\/span> egg whites, room temperature<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> cup<\/span> onfectioners’ sugar<\/span><\/div>\n
Jam or other filling<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> kg<\/span> granulated sugar<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lower third. Place almonds in a food processor; process until as fine as possible, about 1 minute. Add confectioners’ sugar; process until combined, about 1 minute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Pass almond mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer solids in sieve to food processor; grind and sift again, pressing down on clumps. Repeat until less than 2 tablespoons of solids remains in sieve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Whisk egg whites and granulated sugar by hand to combine. Beat on medium speed (4 on a KitchenAid) 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high (6) and beat 2 minutes. Then beat on high (8) 2 minutes more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add dry ingredients all at once. Fold with a spatula from bottom of bowl upward, then press flat side of spatula firmly through middle of mixture. Repeat just until batter flows like lava, 35 to 40 complete strokes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Rest a pastry bag fitted with a 3\/8-inch round tip (Ateco #804) inside a glass. Transfer batter to bag; secure top. Dab some batter remaining in bowl onto corners of 2 heavy baking sheets; line with parchment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

With piping tip 1\/2 inch above sheet, pipe batter into a 3\/4-inch round, then swirl tip off to one side. Repeat, spacing rounds 1 inch apart. Tap sheets firmly against counter 2 or 3 times to release air bubbles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Bake 1 sheet at a time, rotating halfway through, until risen and just set, 13 minutes. Let cool. Pipe or spread filling on flat sides of half of cookies; top with remaining half. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-1609","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-macarons"],"yoast_head":"\nBasic French Macarons - Sprinklesbyevans<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sprinklesbyevans.com\/recipes\/basic-french-macarons\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Basic French Macarons - Sprinklesbyevans\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We've taken the guesswork out of making these patisserie beauties, so you can prepare them at home (for less than 25 cents a pop!).
