Spread the love

Ingredients for 12 servings:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 25 g sugar
  • 125 g marzipan – raw mass
  • some lemon zest, freshly grated
  • some lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 50 g flour
  • 1 pinch of baking powder
  • 1 egg white
  • 60 g sugar
  • 100 g ground almonds
  • some bitter almond flavor

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

For the dough, it’s best to mix the ingredients with a hand blender. Or bring everything to room temperature and mix thoroughly with a dough hook. For the topping, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then stir in the almonds, sugar, and flavoring at the end. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or use these bright blue silicone molds without pretreating them. Pour a small layer of batter into each one, then top with some of the macaron mixture (it looks great when rolled into a ball). Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F), top and bottom heat, 15-20 minutes.
