Nut-Free Macarons Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large egg whites, granulated sugar, all purpose flour, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, gel food coloring, buttercream frosting

Provided by Grace Walker

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg whites
4 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus 1/2 teaspoon
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
gel food coloring, optional
buttercream frosting, or any frosting of your choice

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!
