Dulce de Leche Macarons

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, sift together the rice flour, almond flour, confectioner's sugar, and baking powder.

   Tip: Sifting helps to aerate the ingredients.

3. 3

   In a separate large bowl, whip the egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.

   Tip: This helps to incorporate air and stabilize the meringue.

4. 4

   Add the sifted flour mixture to the egg mixture and gently fold until well combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

   Tip: This will help you achieve a smooth, even shape.

6. 6

   Pipe small, round circles onto the prepared baking sheet.

   Tip: Tap the baking sheet gently to remove any air bubbles.

7. 7

   Tap the baking sheet again after each piped circle to remove air bubbles.

8. 8

   Bake for 15 minutes, then let cool completely.

   Tip: This helps to prevent the macarons from becoming misshapen.

9. 9

   To assemble, pair the macarons by size and shape.

   Tip: This helps to create a balanced and visually appealing sandwich.

10. 10

    Spoon a small amount of dulce de leche onto one half of a paired macaron, then top with the other half.

    Tip: This helps to create a smooth, even surface.

11. 11

    Repeat with the remaining macarons.
