Mixing Bowl

Whether you bake a lot or only on special occasions, at least one or two large mixing bowls are a must. You can use any type of bowl plastic, ceramic, glass or stainless, 70

73

Wooden Spoons

Spatulas 74

Whisks

You need at least a couple of rubber or silicone spatulas to scrape the bowl, as well as a small metal spatula to serve desserts. A few wooden spoons for mixing and blending are also handy.

Having a small minute timer can be very practical. It allows you to take the timer outdoors with you or to another room, so you can hear it and know that you should check your baking.

Egg whites

Butter Cream of Tartar

What You’ll need to make Macaron:

87

Salt

Granulated Sugar

Almond Flour

Vanilla Extract

let's get started !!

88

89

Step Sieve the icing sugar and the ground almonds together in a large bowl and whisk together.

90

Step Whiz the dry ingredients in the food processor and then sieve again. Repeat this process two more times. Seems like a lot but this is how you get a nice smooth top.

91

Step Whip the egg whites with the cream or tartar.

Add salt and gradually add the sugar. Mix until the merengue reaches the soft peak stage. Add vanilla and any gel food coloring in at this point.

92

Step The meringue needs to be whipped to STIFF peaks so it’s actually best to finish the whisking off by hand. This way you’ll have a better feel for then the meringue is done.

93

Step Add a third of the confectioner’s sugar and almond mixture and fold in gently. Move the spatula in circular motions bringing material from underneath to the top. Add the remaining dry mixture and continue folding.

See the section on macaronage below for some more details.

94

Step It’s ready when it has a “lava-like” consistency, forming a thick ribbon that slowly blends back into itself when drizzled from your spatula. A figure “8” test will tell you when the consistency is correct. The batter should drizzle off the spatula and form an eight. Stop immediately at this point.

95

Step Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip, Pipe onto a sheet of parchment paper fixed to a baking sheet. Use some batter as glue to hold the sheet steady. You can print a guide out and have it below the parchment paper. When you are finishing the piping motion stop squeezing the bag and pull up with a circular motion.

96

Step Tap the tray several times to remove air bubbles. Allow to sit for 40-60 minutes so the macarons form a skin. Heat oven to 300F. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes on the pan then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Pipe your filling onto the back of half the shells. Form a sandwich and enjoy!
