Macaronage is the method used to fold macaron mixture in order to produce the correct texture and consistency needed for macarons. Starting at the top of the bowl, scrape your spatula anti-clockwise around the side of the macaron mixture in a circle. When you return to your starting point back at the top, turn the spatula over onto itself, so that the mixture is folded over. Then drag your spatula through the centre of the mixture from top to bottom. Once at the bottom drag the spatula around for a full circle and a half so that you are back at the top and fold the mixture back on itself again and down through the centre again. Repeat this method until you are able to "draw" a figure of 8 figure without the macron mixture breaking.
