Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Macaron
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift the super-fine almond flour and powdered sugar together in a large bowl, repeating twice.
- Whip the egg whites until frothy, gradually add fine sugar and cream of tartar, and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the dry mixture into the meringue until it flows like thick lava.
- Pipe 1.5-inch circles on the baking sheets and let them sit for 20-30 minutes to form a skin.
- Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes or until they lift easily from the parchment paper.
- Cool macarons completely and prepare the filling by heating egg yolks, sugar, and milk, mixing in butter and vanilla.
- Pipe the buttercream filling between two shells and refrigerate to meld the flavors.
