Ingredients




40 grams egg white
a few drops of lemon juice
30 grams caster sugar
30 grams almond meal
50 grams pure icing sugar
5 grams macha powder

Preparation

1 Combine icing sugar, almond meal and macha powder in a food processor and give it a few buzzes to mix evenly. Sieve. 2 In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg white with a few drops of lemon juice (or pinch of salt) until soft peaks form. Add in caster sugar in 3 lots, beating well in between until you get stiff peaks. 3 Fold in sifted ingredients gently. (Recommended: not more than 40 folds) 4 Fill into piping bag. Snip off about 2 cm from the tip of piping bag and pipe 2 cm dollops onto lined pans. 5 Leave for about 1 - 2 hours for the tops to dry out and form a crust. 6 Bake in a preheated oven at 150˚C for about 12 mins. 7 Leave in pans for a few minutes before gently tranferring them to cool completely on a cooling rack. 8 Fill with your favorite filling or in my case, I thought it went really well with a chocolate ganache.
