Orange-Lemon Macaron | WQDR-AM

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour (100 grams)
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (100 grams)
• 2 egg whites, room temperature (75 grams)
• 1/4 cup castor sugar (65 grams) (note: I blended my regular sugar in the coffee grinder to make it finer instead of using castor sugar , this worked fine)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• a pinch of salt
• 1-2 drops orange or yellow food coloring gel (make the color darker than you want your final macarons, because they will get lighter in baking)
• orange and lemon zest to sprinkle on top of the macarons (if desired)
