Macarons are a traditional French pastry made of ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites. They are said to have originated in Italy but were brought to France by the famous pastry chef Catherine de' Medici in the 16th century. Gérard Mulot's Dulce De Leche Macarons are a classic version of the French delight, with a gooey Dulce De Leche filling that adds a caramel flavor to the sweet and crunchy outer layer of the macaron. These macarons are perfect for impressing your guests or treating yourself to something sweet and elegant.

Instructions

1.	Place unblanched almonds and granulated sugar in a food processor and beat until finely ground.
2.	In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and powdered sugar until stiff.
3.	Fold the ground almond and sugar mixture into the egg white mixture.
4.	Spoon the mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto a baking sheet.
5.	Allow the piped macarons to rest until a skin forms on the top, about 20 minutes.
6.	Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and add the macarons to the oven for 15 minutes.
7.	Let them cool before adding a dollop of Dulce De Leche to one macaron and sandwiching with another.
