Equipment

  • 2 glass bowls
  • 1 plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 100 grams egg whites
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • separate your egg yolks from your egg whites carefully
  • place your egg whites into a small glass bowl or container
  • Cover your egg whites with plastic wrap
  • Poke a few holes in the top of the plastic wrap
  • Allow the egg whites to age for a minimum of 24 hours (up to four days).
  • Allow your egg whites to come to room temperature before use them.

Notes

aging your egg whites allows the protein in the egg whites to relax which makes a more flexible macaron batter that is less prone to over- folding
