4. Spoon the batter into a pastry bag (or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off), and pipe disks of batter, about 11/2 inches in diameter, onto prepared baking sheet. Leaving space between the discs.
5. Let the piped cookies stand out at room temperature until they form a hard skin on top, about 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 285°F.
7. Bake cookies for about 10 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before filling.
8. For the ganache: put the heavy cream and white chocolate into a small pot, and melt on low heat while stirring. Add the lemon juice.
9. Once you have a smooth ganache, pour it in a bowl, and let it cool down in the fridge for about an hour.
10. Then fill a pastry bag with the ganache and place a hazelnut sized portion onto a macaron. Place another macaron upside down onto it and squeeze gently. Repeat until all macarons are filled.
