Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the macarons: mix the icing sugar with the ground almonds and pass through a fine sieve.
Step 2
Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks with a pinch of salt, sprinkle over the sugar and add the colouring.
Step 3
When the egg whites are firm, gently fold in the ground almond and mustard with a spatula.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and pipe the macarons on to a sheet of baking parchment.
Step 5
Transfer to a baking tray. Leave to rest for 15 minutes then cook in a preheated oven at 140°C with the fan switched on.
Step 6
Cook for 10 minutes with the oven door ajar.
Step 7
Once they are cooked, remove the baking tray and pour a little bit of water under the baking parchment.
Step 8
This will release steam to stop the macarons from sticking.
Step 9
Once the macarons are cold, stick 2 together with a small piece of Camembert cut out with a biscuit cutter.
