Description

These Nancy macaroons, a classic of French confectionery, are incredibly simple to make with the Thermomix®. Almond powder, combined with icing sugar and a touch of bitter almond extract, creates a delicate and addictive flavor. I love preparing these little cakes to accompany a gourmet coffee or to offer as a gift. The dough is quick to prepare and the cooking only takes a few minutes. A real treat for almond lovers!

Preparation of almonds and icing sugar

Thermomix® Setting

Put 175 g of almond powder and 180 g of icing sugar in the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 Sek./Stufe 10 to make sure there are no lumps.

Mixing the ingredients

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 4

Add 50 g of caster sugar or granulated sugar and half of the egg whites (approximately 1 egg white) into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 Sek./Stufe 4.

Adding the vanilla and the rest of the egg whites

Thermomix® Setting

30 sec/Speed 3

Add 1 tsp of bitter almond extract and the rest of the egg whites (approximately 1 egg white) into the Thermomix bowl. Mix gradually for 30 Sek./Stufe 3, increasing the speed if necessary, until a soft but non-runny dough is obtained.
