Macaronage is the process of stirring meringue together with almond flour and confectioners’ sugar (and in our recipe, some unwhipped egg whites) until it partially deflates and relaxes into a smooth, flowing state. This selectively removes the largest air bubbles from the meringue and leaves the small ones intact.
As the almond flour is stirred through the foam, the nut particles are more likely to hit a big bubble than a small one, either popping it or causing it to divide into smaller bubbles. Both scenarios reduce the number of large bubbles to create a fine-crumbed interior without big hollows.
