Ingredients

• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
• 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup water

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 1 hour
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

Instructions

• Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper.
• Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
• Beat egg whites with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until foamy.
• Beat in the granulated sugar and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
• Incorporate the almond flour mixture until smooth.
• Fill a piping bag with a 1/2-inch round tip with the mixture.
• Pipe 1-inch circles 1 inch apart onto prepared baking sheets.
• To release any air bubbles, firmly tap baking sheets against the counter.
• Allow macarons to form a skin at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• Bake macarons for 18-20 minutes, or until set and just beginning to brown.
• Allow the macarons to cool completely on the baking sheets.
• Over medium-high heat, combine granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• Cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
• Remove pan from heat and add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sea salt right away.
• Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature after whisking until smooth.
• Fill a piping bag with a small round tip with the mixture.
• Half of the macarons should have a dollop of salted caramel on the flat side.
• Sandwich with the leftover macarons.
• Refrigerate macarons in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
