Items needed to answer the question, How do I make Summer Seashell Macarons. Items include: Almond flour Powdered sugar Salt Egg whites Granulated sugar Filling of your choice

Almond flour 1 1/2 cups
Powdered sugar 1 cup
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Egg whites 4
Granulated sugar 1/4 cup
Filling of your choice As needed

Take note
Handle the oven with caution to avoid burns. Also, be careful not to overmix the macaron batter, as it can result in flat or cracked shells.

1

Prepare the Macaron Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Sift the mixture to remove any lumps. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Gradually add granulated sugar to the egg whites, whisking continuously until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture, being careful not to overmix.

2

Pipe the Shell Shapes

Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe small shell shapes onto the parchment paper, leaving enough space between each shell for spreading. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to flatten any air bubbles.

3

Create the Seashell Design

Before the macarons dry, use a toothpick or a small brush to draw wavy lines on top of each shell, mimicking the texture of seashells. Get creative and add some dots or patterns if you'd like!

4

Let the Macarons Rest

Allow the macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps to form a thin shell on the surface, which will result in those coveted feet during baking.

5

Bake and Cool

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for about 15-18 minutes, or until they develop a crisp shell and firm bottom. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.

6

Prepare the Filling

While the macaron shells cool, prepare your favorite filling. It can be buttercream, ganache, or even a fruity jam. Be generous with the filling, as it adds a burst of flavor to every bite!

7

Assemble and Enjoy!

Match up macaron shells of similar size. Spoon or pipe a dollop of filling onto one shell and sandwich it with another. Gently press them together. Now, it's time to savor the taste of summer with your delicious 'Summer Seashell Macarons' creation!
