Instructions:

For the macarons, mix the ground almond kernels with 3 (!) egg whites and the powdered sugar.

Bring 150 g (!) sugar and 100 ml tap water to a boil in a saucepan and boil until it has a syrupy consistency.

Lightly whip the remaining egg whites with the remaining sugar. Later, pour the sugar syrup into the egg whites in a thin stream. Keep whipping until the egg whites have cooled.

Preheat the oven to 150 °C degrees. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully fold one-third of the meringue mixture into the almond kernels, then carefully fold in the remaining meringue mixture.

Place the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a 12-cm star nozzle and pipe evenly spaced dots at 3 cm intervals onto the parchment paper.

Bake the macarons with the oven door slightly open for 15 to 20 minutes. They should not take on any color.

For the buttercream, beat the egg and egg yolks until creamy. Bring sugar, dextrose and 50 ml of water to a boil, bring to a syrupy boil and fold into the egg mixture. Beat over iced water until cold, add butter one piece at a time. Mix in the vanilla pulp. Let rest for 10 minutes, then beat again.

Assemble two macarons at a time with the buttercream.
