Method

  1. Mix the almonds, sugar and lemon zest in a bowl.
  2. Then beat the egg and add a good drop of lemon oil and mix the two with the nuts.
  3. Shape the mixture into about 20 small balls, then roll in sugar and bake at 180C for 10mins on baking paper.
  4. To make the buttercream filling beat together all the ingredients really well until completly combined. Add more lemon curd for a looser consitstency and a more lemony flavour.
  5. Finally take a small spoonfull of the filling and sandwich together two of the cooled macaroons which should be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
