Ingredients:

- 125 g unsalted raw shelled peanuts
- 1 egg white (or sub with equivalent aquafaba for a vegan alternative)
- 150 g caster sugar
- pinch fine sea salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

Roasting the peanuts

- Heat the oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4.
Prepare 2 baking trays by lining with baking paper.
- Place the peanuts in a heat-proof dish and place in the oven to roast for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Check (and give a little shake) frequently, to make sure they brown nicely and do not burn. Allow to cool when done.

Making the peanut macaroons

- Chop or coarsely grind the peanuts and set aside.
- Whisk the egg white with the salt until stiff.
- Fold in the sugar and vanilla and whisk again until silky.
- Add the chopped/ground peanuts and fold into the mixture.
- Use a teaspoon to drop small piles of the mixture onto the baking trays and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the macaroons are crisp and golden.
