Time 1h50m

Yield 30 macarons

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 cup almond flour, finely ground
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3 egg whites, at room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 drops pink gel food coloring
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine. Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form (you should be able to turn the bowl upside down without anything falling out).
  • Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.
  • Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold until combined. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up.
  • Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Place 4 dots of the batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, and place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet.
  • Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper in 1½-inch (3-cm) circles, spacing at least 1-inch (2-cm) apart.
  • Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 5 times to release any air bubbles.
  • Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until dry to the touch.
  • Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
  • Bake the macarons for 17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don't stick to the parchment paper.
  • Transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
  • Make the buttercream: In a large bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Add a dollop of buttercream to one macaron shell. Top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and buttercream.
  • Place in an airtight container for 24 hours to "bloom".
  • Enjoy!

NUT-FREE MACARONS



Nut-Free Macarons image

The problem that I identified was that French macarons are almost always baked with almond flour, and so many people with tree nut allergies, counting me, are affected by this problem, because we can't eat freshly baked French macarons from a pastry shop. This is problematic, because I've always wanted to try a French macaron, since my sisters have tried them and told me that they taste really good, and I was jealous.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup confectioners' sugar
¾ cup coconut flour
3 egg whites
⅓ cup white sugar
1 cup raspberries
½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Sift confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Sift in coconut flour.
  • Beat egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until white and foamy. Add white sugar slowly. Beat until mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
  • Sift the coconut flour mixture into the egg whites, a few tablespoons at a time, folding after each addition. Batter should be thick and gooey and able to fall off a spoon slowly like lava.
  • Fit a piping bag with a coupler and a tip. Drop piping bag tip-down into a tall glass and fold edges down around the glass. Spoon batter into the bag. Gather edges and twist together.
  • Holding the tip at a 90 degree angle, pipe batter onto a greased baking sheet to form individual macaron shells. Tap baking sheet onto a countertop to remove air bubbles. Let sit until dry, 15 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Puree raspberries in a food processor, adding water if using frozen raspberries. Strain out the seeds using a fine-mesh strainer.
  • Beat butter and 1/2 the confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until combined. Add the remaining 1/2 and beat until creamy. Add raspberry puree and heavy cream; mix well to make the frosting.
  • Spoon a small amount of frosting over the flat side of a macaron shell; cap with another shell. Repeat with the remaining filling and shells.

Tips:

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that your macarons are the perfect consistency.
  • Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them whip up more easily.
  • Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the bowl, the peaks of the egg whites should stand up straight.
  • Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites while you are beating them. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
  • Fold the almond flour and powdered sugar into the egg whites gently. Overmixing can cause the macarons to become tough.
  • Let the macarons rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help them develop a skin, which will help prevent them from cracking in the oven.
  • Bake the macarons at a low temperature for a long time. This will help them dry out slowly and evenly.
  • Let the macarons cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from making the macarons soggy.

Conclusion:

Macarons are a delicious and delicate treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make perfect macarons at home. Just remember to follow the tips above and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
