My youngest son has decided that Macaroons are the new cupcakes. He made his first batch yesterday.
They were meant to look like this:-

March 17, 2010Wait – you can MAKE macaroons? AT HOME??? (Oh if only the children weren’t allergic to nuts. Although, having said that, it might be a good thing I can’t indulge….)

March 17, 2010Yes, I know I was amazed. It was so easy. Just ground almonds and egg white and ummmm…..I’ll just go and ask my 9 year old. Lx
