Directions

  1. 1
    ["Whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, and coarse salt in medium metal bowl to blend well.", "Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water).", "Whisk constantly until mixture thickens and instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 170\u00b0F to 172\u00b0F, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil.", "Remove bowl from over water. Whisk butter into curd, 2 to 3 cubes at a time, allowing butter to melt before adding more and whisking until curd is smooth.", "Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of curd and refrigerate overnight.", "Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk on low-medium speed until frothy. Add the granulated sugar a little bit at a time. Allow the sugar to incorporate fully before making the next addition.", "When all of the sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium and allow meringue to form stiff peaks. To test, remove the bowl from the mixer and turn upside down. There should be no movement in the meringue.", "Combine the blanched almonds and powdered sugar in a food processor. Process until you cannot distinguish the almonds from the sugar, about 30 seconds.", "Add half of the almond-sugar mixture to the meringue. Using a strong spatula, begin combining the two elements. During this first combination, you actually want to combine the two rather vigorously. Do not be gentle - you have to reduce the air in the meringue somewhat or your macarons will be too \"puffy\"". Continue for about 10 to 15 turns.""
