Ingredients
For Macarons:
- 1 cup 110g almond flour
- 1 ¾ cups 210g powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites at room temperature
- ¼ cup 50g granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For Filling:
- ½ cup 120ml caramel sauce
- 4 tablespoons 56g unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons 30ml heavy cream
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather a baking sheet, parchment paper, a piping bag with a round tip, and a mixer.
- Make the Caramel Sauce: (See detailed instructions in the recipe above.)
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together. Whip egg whites and granulated sugar to stiff peaks. Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg whites until smooth.
- Pipe small circles of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tap the sheet to remove air bubbles and let the macarons rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes until the macarons have firm, smooth tops and “feet.”
- Match up macaron shells of similar sizes. Spoon a small amount of cooled caramel sauce onto one shell and top it with another to create a sandwich.
- Drizzle a bit of caramel sauce on top and, if desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt.
