Ingredients:
  • Almond flour - 5.3 ounces (150 grams)

  • Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles (about 1 inch in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space in between each macaron.
  • Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface a few times to remove any air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on top.
