Steps to make Easy French Macarons:
- Sieve or sift the icing sugar and ground almonds together into a large mixing bowl. Throw any lumps left behind away. (The bigger pieces makes the Macarons lumpy and cracked during baking) whisk with electric mixer, the egg whites and salt until they form soft peaks (making sure utensils are grease free).
