Fold in the almond flour mixture gently until batter flows like lava.
Pipe small circles onto prepared baking sheets. Tap trays to release air bubbles.

Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15–18 minutes. Let cool completely.
Beat butter until creamy, then add powdered sugar and cream to make buttercream filling.
Pipe buttercream between macaron shells to sandwich them.
