French Fridays with Dorie: Croquants

Sniff, sniff – it’s one of our last sweet recipes for French Fridays with Dorie. This week’s croquants (p 410) reminded me of some of my earlier attempts at macarons

With just a few ingredients – nuts, egg whites, sugar and a little bit of flour, these were a cinch to make and the mixture went a long way (I halved the recipe and it made around 25, not the 17 it should have!). I was planning on dipping these in chocolate but didn’t quite get around to it. They were a tasty treat with an espresso (they are pretty sweet so just one is enough) through the week but every time I look at them, I can’t help but think “macarons gone wrong”

Get a recipe similar to Dorie Greenspan’s croquants here or on p 410 of Around my French Table.

French Fridays with Dorie participants do not publish the recipes on our blogs, we prefer if you purchase Around My French Table for yourselves which you can do here on Amazon or Amazon Canada. Or for free worldwide shipping, buy from The Book Depository. Go on, treat yourself then join us here!
