Amaretti or Macaroons

What to do with left over egg whites?

Well if you have some almonds and some sugar in the pantry why not make some amaretti. Amaretti is the Italian name for macaroons, which means little bitter things.

Now if you watched Masterchef the other night you would've watched them painstakingly try to make macaroons.

This is a simplified version so please don't be afraid to give them a try. It doesn't require whisking or complex temperature control, just a food processor.
It is kind of a cheat's version of the recipe but it still tastes yum!

They should be crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle...mmm yum!
Ingredients

• 400g almonds
  
• 1 3/4 cups (400g) caster sugar
• 1/4 cup plain flour
  
• 4 egg whites
• 1 tbs vanilla essence

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C.Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

Add flour, egg whites and vanilla essence and process until well combined.

Roll 2 teaspoonful of the mixture into balls. Place on the trays. Flatten slightly.
