Happy Easter!!!OK, I’m a day late, but I can be forgiven right? Easter’s a time for family so I had to pass on the season’s greetings yesterday. But today is a bank holiday and with the extra day off work, there’s no excuse for not getting into that kitchen! And who doesn’t love macaroons? They are the perfect tea-time treat, especially at Easter when you can shape them like Easter eggs, and colour them nice spring-time colours. (Granted I didn’t manage either of those quite as well as I’d hoped, but you get the idea!) I don’t know where the idea came from but I think it worked out quite well in the end, and my family most certainly agreed.

They are made using a basic macaroon recipe and a couple of drops of pink/blue/green food colouring. The green and blue were the least successful but the pink came out brilliantly! If you manage to get your green/blues to come out nice and bright, do let me know your secret! Until then I will have to keep experimenting...what a shame, more macaroons!
To keep the flavour nice a light and zingy I chose to go with a lemon curd centre dipped in hundreds and thousands!
Just follow the basic recipe below and decorate how you feel! Next time I’m thinking ribbons?
