Instructions

  3. Whip the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until smooth and shiny.
  6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Allow the macarons to sit for about 30 minutes to form a skin.
