Orange and honey macaroons

Serves:

Ingredients

• 3 egg whites
• 1/3 cup (80g) caster sugar
• finely grated zest of one orange
• 2 cups (170g) desiccated coconut
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• 3 tbsp runny honey

Method

Preheat oven to 150°C (130°C fan-forced) and line two baking trays with paper. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and then place over medium heat. Stir well and keep stirring until the mixture begins to dry out. This will take about 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat a little if you think the mixture is beginning to catch and burn on the bottom of the saucepan. Remove from heat, leave to cool and then spoon into tablespoon-sized mounds on baking trays.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking paper for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
