For 7 portions

Ingredients

3 egg whites
220 g ground hazelnuts
150–180 g granulated sugar (to taste)

Optional:

a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla or lemon zest for a more pronounced aroma

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven to 160 °C (convection 150 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold in the ground hazelnuts so the mixture remains airy.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, form small mounds on the baking sheet.
Bake for about 15–20 minutes until golden, until the edges begin to brown slightly. Make sure the macarons remain soft inside.
Let cool and store in a sealed container.

Tip: For an extra crunchy effect you can sprinkle the macarons with chopped nuts before baking.
