Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and powdered sugar.
Separately, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
While whisking, gradually add the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Mix in the almond flour until just combined.
Fold in the black currant extract and food coloring until the batter is smooth and evenly colored.
Fill a piping bag halfway with batter and pipe 1-inch rounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
To release any air bubbles, tap the baking sheet on a flat surface.
Allow the macarons to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the macarons are firm and can be easily removed from the parchment paper.
Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
Pairs of macarons are sandwiched together with your choice of filling, such as black currant jam or buttercream.
