French Macarons

100g egg whites (it was exactly 3 eggs for me)


50g sugar


200g powdered sugar


110g blanched almonds


Innards of 2 vanilla beans

1. Combine powdered sugar, almonds and vanilla bean caviar. Put in food processor and let it go for about 2 minutes

2. Using a stand mixer whip the egg whites while gradually adding sugar until they form stiff shiny peaks

3. Combine egg whites and dry ingredients. Fold quickly at first then slow down until you have a molten sludge.

4. Put your macaron mix in a pastry bag and pipe 1.5 circles. Let sit for 1 hr

5. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and cook for 10-12 minutes

6. Add your filling and eat.
