Product Information

If using parchment paper, dab a little bit of batter on the bottom of all four corners of the parchment paper. Use it as a "glue" to keep the paper attached to the tray while piping. Or use magnets to secure the paper onto the tray.Using the spatula, gently transfer the batter into the piping bag. This step-by-step guide aims to teach you how to make perfect macarons every time. My tried and tested method is perfect for both beginners and more advanced bakers. Frequently Asked Questions What are macarons? The best food colouring to use is either gel or powder. I would advise caution with using liquid food colouring as it can alter the wet to dry ratio if too much is used. Furthermore, gel and powder food colours will result in much more vibrant colours. Step 4 - Start folding the meringue into the almond flour For this recipe, you do not need to rest the macarons. As you can see below the difference between rested and not-rested batter in this recipe is minimal:

Firstly, macarons should always be placed in an airtight container (see below), to prevent them from absorbing any of the fridge smell. Secondly, macarons should be kept away from moisture, as it will soften the shell and make it gooey. Powdered sugar - this is also known as icing sugar or confectioner's sugar. The type sold in North America usually contains a bit of corn starch as an anti-coagulant. I’ve seen some suggestions that this is a good recipe to use up leftover mash potato. Now, I am all for using up leftovers and avoiding food waste but there’s two points I’d like to make in regards to that… Imperfect Piped Circles: Don’t get upset over this! My macaron batter is NEVER piped into perfect circles. You can even see in these photos that some are larger than others. Using a template helps, but so does practice.Mix until the batter will flows off the spatula in a very slow stream that doesn’t break. It’s often compared to honey or lava. Or “powdered sugar” for our international bakers. You must, must, must use icing sugar over any other sugars in this recipe. The fine texture of icing sugar is what mixes with the potato, to make the perfect fondant. Just be sure to have a little extra to hand too, in case you have a particularly moist potato and need a little bit extra icing sugar to help form the fondant.

Italian Meringue: Sugar is boiled with water to make a syrup which is then added to the whipped egg whites to make meringue. This is a very stable meringue but the method is more advanced and requires a candy thermometer and a lot of confidence.The short answer is no, they won’t whip up as well. Especially if you are new to making macarons use real eggs. But, that being said if you’ve got the basics down I’ve found boxed egg whites will work in a pinch and can actually be helpful if making a lot of macarons. Untwist the bag and hold the bag straight down over your silicone mat. Pipe the macarons slightly smaller than the circle in the template to allow them to spread slightly. Don’t worry if the macarons have small peaks, these should settle when you tap the trays.
