so is that 500 grams each of conf sugar and almonds equaling a total of 1000 grams or a total 500 g = 250 g of each
So, it would be so nice if you rewrote this recipe as it’s a little confusing for me…Not sure how much almond flour and icing sugar to use…either 500 g of each or a total of 500 g and you list egg whites twice but I only see the 80 g being used in the recipe….lovely Macaroons and would love to try making them but I need more clarification please.
Thanks,
