Almond macaroons recipe
A (sort of) healthy dessert, made only from egg whites, sugar, ground almonds, coconut, and a few secret ingredients...
This recipe uses American cups as a measure; but if you don't have one, just remember that 1 cup of flour = 150g; 1 cup of sugar = 225g; and 1 cup of dried fruit = 200g.
