time and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick. Gently stir in the icing sugar and almond mixture. Use a piping bag with a nozzle, fill with the macaron mixture. Place the silicon mate or a paper template onto a baking sheet. Pipe small rounds onto the sheet. Gently tap the baking sheet few times on the work surface to break any air bubbles then leave it to dry for 20 minutes. Bake the macaron at 130 degrees for 24 minutes. Do not remove the macarons until they are cold or you will break them.
