Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
  2. Pulse together almond meal and powdered sugar in a food processor until well combined. Sift to remove clumps.
  3. Whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar. Whip to stiff peaks.
  4. Gently fold the almond mixture into the whipped egg whites until the batter flows like thick lava.
  5. Fill a pastry bag and pipe 3/4-inch circles onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between rounds.
  6. Let the shells rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until a skin forms.
  7. Bake the shells for 15 minutes until they rise slightly and edges appear crisped.
  8. While shells cool, simmer raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice to make the buttercream filling.
  9. Pipe the raspberry buttercream onto half of the cooled macarons and sandwich with remaining shells.
  10. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or garnish with freeze-dried raspberries.
