This is my first choice for French Macarons! The value for the pound is not the best as there is another brand I can't remember off the top of my head right now but it comes in a 5 lb. blue package for under $40, but the texture of the flour with KA (King Arthur) is unbeatable from what I have seen. When this runs at $10 or less (rare, but it happens occasionally) I do stock up and just keep them in my baking fridge outside. I found that I don't always have to even sift this flour to get glossy, smooth Macarons, it usually is fine enough on its own. I would not however recommend you skip any steps when making your Macarons---they are too fussy and expensive to make to be taking shortcuts. This is great with gluten free baking as well, just make sure all your ingredients are truly gluten free (some cocoas are not, some powdered sugars are not---I know, this sounds crazy, but trust me, I learned the hard way). If you buy this is bulk you usually can save some money, or by using Amazon Pantry. Even if you have to pay more just to try this brand it is worth it. KA is a great, reputable brand that has never let me down in my ten years of baking.
