Nancy Macarons Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, make a paste using 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons water.
• Add almond meal and unwhisked egg whites and mix. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a smooth tip; pipe out circles about the size of quarters, spacing each disk at least an inch apart. Rap the pans on the counter a few times to even out batter and eliminate air bubbles.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are golden but centers are still light and slightly soft. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes to set.

Steps:

• Boil macaroni according to package directions (recommend: less time for firmer noodles) and drain well.
• Pour macaroni into a large (13x18-inch or 13x19-inch) baking pan.
• Add cheese and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, combine eggs with a splash of milk. Beat thoroughly, and pour over the macaroni-cheese mixture.
• Add evaporated milk.
• Pour whole milk into the pan until the macaroni is completely covered. note: nana performs a "spoon test" - rest the spoon on the macaroni and if the milk covers the spoon you should have about the right amount.
• Bake at 400°F for a minimum of 1 hour. Macaroni and cheese is done when you shake the pan and it jiggles like jello.
