Boiled Eggs
- Ingredients:
- one cup (10 oz. 280g) icing sugar
- one cup (10 oz. 280g) ground nuts
- four egg-whites
- 3tbsp (35g) caster sugar
- rosewater, bitter-almond essence, mace or nutmeg
Preheat oven to 300 °F (150 °C).
Classic macaroons are made from ground almonds—enlivened with a couple of bitter almonds, or a couple of drops of bitter-almond essence. For Amaretti add apricot kernels; peach-, and cherry-kernels also work. You can also use pignioli (pine kernels), hazelnuts, walnuts or pecans.
Mix icing sugar, ground nuts and any flavouring. Beat egg-whites with caster sugar to a stiff meringue. Mix one third of the meringue into the nuts; fold in the remainder. Pipe or spoon mixture onto rice paper or non-stick silicon sheet. Allow to rest 30 minutes (or up to a couple of hours) to allow the surface to dry.
Bake for twenty minutes.
The quantities given here can be used to make a 10'' disk of almond macaroon. Delicious flavoured with bitter almond and orange-flower water, and topped with raspberries and cream.
