Prep Method 8

  1. 1.In a food processor, grind the sugar, flour, and salt until fine. Pass the mixture through a sifter and place in a bowl large enough to accommodate the entire recipe.
  2. 2.Mix the ground flour mixture and the first weight of egg whites until a smooth paste forms. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  3. 3.Melt the chocolate and keep warm, about 120°F (49°C).
  4. 4.Make an Italian meringue with the sugar, water, second weight of egg whites, and tartar. Cook the sugar to 243°F (117°C) and time the sugar with the egg whites so the whites are at medium peaks when the sugar reaches the proper temperature.
  5. 5.Whisk the meringue until tepid, about 120°F (49°C), then add the warm melted chocolate to the meringue while whipping. Add the food coloring after the chocolate is fully incorporated.
  6. 6.Fold the meringue into the reserved paste in 3 additions, then macaronage the mixture until a ribbon flattens back into the mix in about 10 seconds.
  7. 7.Pipe into rounds about 1¼-inches in diameter on a silicone baking mat. Set aside to air dry for 60 minutes to develop a shell before baking.
  8. 8.Bake at 300°F (149°C) for 11-12 minutes.
