What food is made with one pound of almond paste one half cup of sugar and three egg whites?

Macaroons are made from ground almonds or almond paste (marzipan), sugar and egg whites.

Use about 2/3 cup each of almonds and sugar and the white of one large or two small eggs.

The three ingredients are beaten together with a pinch of salt until well combined (you can add a little almond extract, but not artificial almond flavour) and then shaped into small balls about 1 inch, or 2.5 cm, in diameter and placed on a baking sheet about 2 inches, or 5 cm apart.

If you like you can press a whole almond gently into the centre.

Bake at 350f or 180c for ten minutes, or until pale gold. Cool completely on a rack before storing in an airtight container lined with paper towels. The macaroons will keep about four days this way; don't refrigerate them.

There are many macaroon recipes available; check them out to see which you prefer. Coconut is a popular ingredient.
