The Bored Baker | How to make Macarons


What you will need

205g icing sugar 
190g almond flour
144g egg whites ( Split in Half)
Food color gel/paste
190g granulated sugar 
60ml water


Mix the Icing sugar and almond flour in blender and pulse for about 10-15 times

Sift into a large bowl ( do not press nuggets through, just disregard them)

Add 72 g of the egg whites into the mixture and start to fold

(Optional) if you want to add food gel coloring this is the time

Fold mixture until coloring is covered

In a saucepan add sugar and water and stir until temp reaches 110f

At this point start whisking the remaining half of the egg whites 

Once the Sugar syrup reaches 116F remove from stove and gently pour it down the sides of the mixing bowl ( be careful not to get it in whisk as it will send it flying)

Whisk on high for 3-5 minutes or until you have firm peaks

Add half of the meringue mixture into your almond flour and icing sugar mixture and start to fold

Add other half and fold until you can ribbon the mixture without it falling back in for 3 seconds

Put into a piping bag and start piping on a parchment or silicon mat

Tap tray several times to release air bubbles

Let a skin form on the Macarons for about 30 mins

Preheat your Oven to 350

Bake for 15-18 mins

Remove from oven and place parchment or silicon mat on the cooling tray

Remove and fill with your favorite filling 

Enjoy
