- 85 grams milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
- Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
- Add in the food coloring and fold until evenly distributed.
- Combine the sifted almond flour and sugar mixture with the whipped egg whites, mixing until the batter flows like lava.
- Pipe circles onto the baking sheets and tap to release air bubbles.
- Rest the shells at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until dry to the touch.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, rotating trays halfway through.
- Cool completely before removing from sheets.
- Make the Ermine buttercream by whisking milk and flour until thick, then beating in butter and sugar, finishing with vanilla.
- Assemble the macarons by piping filling onto one shell and sandwiching with another.
Notes
Use aged egg whites for better peaks and avoid humidity during preparation.
