1.
Preheat the oven to 150°C with top and bottom heat. Beat the egg whites with lemon juice until very stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until a glossy, firm mixture forms and gently fold in the almonds. Stir in the syrup and a touch of food coloring, then pipe the batter into large round tips onto parchment-lined baking sheets to create small half-moons about 2 cm across. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, leaving the oven door slightly ajar.
