Folding: Cut through the meringue and then fold up and over.

Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.

Add second half of the almond flour mixture and fold using the method above.

Now, the most important question is:

HOW LONG DO I NEED TO FOLD?

pink macarons from the best food blog 5starcookies-add almond flour and mix until batter flows like lava

You need to fold until batter flows like lava.

If this answer is confusing, just check the videos of lava or just check lava cakes.

You need to get feeling of your final product.

Another answer is that the batter will fall back into the bowl in a thick ribbon.

Next step is to scoop batter into bag about 2/3 full.

Twist off the top and pipe macarons into desired size.

Easy project for Easter.

Ingredients

-eggs (use as many as you want to)
-1/2 cup rice /per bag

Use one plastic bag per color of your choice. (I started with red)
Pour 1/2 cup of rice in bag #1 and squeeze a liberal amount of red food coloring into it.
Shake the rice so it is is coated. Make as many bags as you want to.
Add your egg, close the bag and shake the egg.
Imagine you are a very gently bartender. Shake it for 30 to 45 seconds.
Take the egg out and you will have the most beautiful pattern from the dyed rice.
Now, find the bag number 2 and repeat the steps above.
Use as many bags as you wanted.
Rice will dry very quickly so keep adding more color into the bag.
Enjoy your creation!

This project can be done with kids.

Enjoy.
