NUT-FREE MACARONS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat egg whites until frothy.
• Gradually add the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and powdered sugar together. Then, sift the flour and powdered sugar mixture into the egg white mixture.
• Add the vanilla extract, and gel food coloring if you want the macarons to be colored.
• Gently fold all the ingredients together.
• Transfer the batter into a piping bag with a rounded tip.
• Pipe the macarons onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently tap the baking sheet on a flat surface a few times to release air bubbles.
• Let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 280°F.
• Bake the macarons for 17-20 minutes.
• Allow the macarons to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer the macarons on to a cooling rack.
• Add a dollop of buttercream or any frosting of your choice to one of the macaron shells, then top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining shells and frosting.
• For best results, allow the macarons to "bloom" for about 24 hours.
• Enjoy!
