Ingredients

for about twenty macarons:

3 egg whites
100 gr of caster sugar
140 gr of almond powder
1 finely chopped lemon zest.

Spices:

Crush three cloves with the bottom of a saucepan or a hammer. To this clove powder, add 20 gr of caster sugar and 10 gr of ground cinnamon. Mix everything and pass through a fine sieve.

Step-by-step directions

1 Preheat the oven to 120°C (gas mark 4).

2 Mix the raw egg whites, powdered sugar, almond powder then, spice powder and lemon zest (just mixed, not beaten).

3 Place baking paper on a tray and fill a piping bag with a plain nozzle with your macaron mixture.
Make small mounds on the tray (spaced apart, as the mixture tends to spread).

4 Bake for 20 minutes.
Only remove the macarons when they have changed color and have a small crust on top.
The trick: at the end of baking gently lift your baking paper, pour two spoonfuls of cold water underneath then replace the paper, the condensation will release your macarons, keep in a dry place, but I think that ultimately, after tasting, there won't be that many left...
