TOP TIPS FOR MAKING FRENCH MACARONS
THE MERINGUE!!!! That meringue HAS TO BE STIFF! I had no idea French meringue could be whipped to such a thick marshmallowy consistency but all it takes is a bit of extra whisking. You’ll notice the meringue start to fill the whisk when you’re getting close to the right stage.
Age your egg whites! Separate the eggs, place the whites in a clean glass, cover with plastic wrap and let them hang out in the fridge for a few days before using. This will dehydrate them and make them perfect for macarons.
Sift, Sift, SIFT! Those larger pieces of almond flour will mar the surface of your macarons. Best practice is to sift then whiz in the food processor and repeat two more times. Discard the larger particles, don’t try to press them through the sieve.
The mixing will take some practice, you will fold and fold the batter and then use the spatula to GENTLY press the batter against the bowl. You want to remove some of the bubbles but not to many… Continue this until it reaches a thick “lava” consistency. It should slowly fall off the spatula in ribbons and be able to form a figure eight without breaking.
Pipe the macarons perpendicular to the surface. If your tip is pointing a bit in any particular direction when you pipe the macarons might be oblong or malformed.
Add your coloring to the meringue after it reaches the soft peak stage.
When you are finishing the piping motion stop squeezing the bag and pull up with a circular motion.
The macarons will be best after 2-3 days resting in the fridge.
If you over-bake the shells and they’re too crisp, brush the bottom with some milk before assembly to soften them up.

    I've made macarons many times, I love making them and still keep watching videos because I always learn something new that helps me perfect them. I have tried many recipes and done many tests with different types of meringue, oven temps, baking trays, parchment paper, resting time, etc. I found that: 1 - baking times and temp are guidelines with macarons, you will have to test and find out what works best in your oven, macarons are very sensitive even to changes of a couple of degrees in the oven. 2 - Italian meringue works best, I use the Valrhona and Pierre Herme's recipes but adapted time and temp for my oven. 3 - I always use the stainless steel bowl for making meringue, it distributes temperature better than glass. 4 - Don't make them in very hot and humid days unless you have aircon, if the piped macarons rest for too long they will be ruined. 5 - If you get the macaronage right, you can use French meringue without resting, so it's great when you have to make too many or don't have the time for resting. 6 - You know batter is ready to pipe when you no longer see any big bubbles in the mixture, it has runny cake batter consistency and when you make your figure of 8 it sinks back in about 25/30 seconds. 7 - good quality parchment paper and template work better that macaron baking mats. 8 - using heavy duty baking trays is crucial, if you don't have one, use 2 trays on top of eachother. 9 - stick the paper to the tray using oven safe magnets or butterfly paper clips, you will save the effort of having to clean them after each use.10 - I never flavour the shells, except when making chocolate macarons (replace some of the icing sugar with 100% cocoa), macarons are all about the filling which has to be luxurious, and will flavour the shell after resting.

    I made these and transferred the video on to a recipe- they turned out perfect with his buttercream too: 1 cup confectioners sugar 3 egg whites 1 ½ cups almond flour ¼ tsp tartar ¼ salt ½ cup sugar 1 tsp almond extract or vanilla. (Any flavor) Put aside 3 egg whites. Pour confectioners sugar and almond flour in bowl. Sift the mixture into a bowl. Pour in blender. Grind, shake, grind. Pour back into the bowl and repeat the sifting blending process. Dot of vinegar in mixing bowl and wipe bowl. Pour eggs in mixing bowl. Mix on low, when egg whites get frothy add cream of tartar and salt. Add vanilla or whatever flavor. Drizzle in sugar very slowly After stiff peak, transfer into bowl Whisk it with hand. Take ⅓ cup of the dry mixture and fold into egg white mixture. Add the rest of the dry mixture in. GET AIR BUBBLES OUT! If you can drizzle a figure eight you are done mixing. Take four dabs of mixture on corners on a flat pan and put parchment over the pan to make it stick. Transfer some mix to piping bag. Pipe perpendicular and swirl to finish off. Slam pan down. Pop air bubbles with toothpick. Rest them for 45 min Set oven to 320 12-15 min.

    a little tip: if you add the food coloring to the egg whites before you add your dry ingredients, remember that as you mix in the dry ingredients, the batter will condense and so the color will become more concentrated. Basically if you think that you didn’t add enough food coloring to the egg whites, chances are you did because the batter will get darker as it shrinks. So don’t overdo the food coloring and remember you can always add more later! I made this recipe (it came out great btw) but I kept adding food coloring to the egg whites because it wasn’t as dark as I wanted. Then once I mixed in the dry ingredients the macarons were darker than I wanted

    I made my first batch of macarons last night and I tried to make it strawberry shortcake flavored. So I mixed vanilla extract and graham cracker crumbs into the batter and I made the filling with cool whip and mashed strawberries. I let my family try them and I got a lot of compliments. They said the only thing I did wrong was piping them too small and I forgot to tap out the air bubbles. I’ve only had 1 macaron before I made these so I didn’t know what a good macaron was and I didn’t expect everyone to like them so much. I’m a perfectionist so I plan on making another batch soon to improve on them. However I’m going to try chocolate peppermint instead.

    I made this recipe a week ago! This is a great recipe. I had to adjust my oven for the second batch because my oven runs hot. If you get cracked macarons, your oven may be too hot! Reduce by 5-10 degrees and keep an eye on your macarons. Thanks Preppy Kitchen!

    I don't think i've seen other you tubers expose their fails, but i love that you did! Any seasoned macaron maker has had many ugly attempts. Part of the reason I love making them so much, is because of the challenge! OH, the moment of truth, when you look into the oven mid bake....and....drum roll.....YES! or NOOOOOOO. Yours are beauties! I definitely want to try your french buttercream inside! Have you tried the Ispahan flavor with lychee and raspberry and rose flavor? MMM!@@PreppyKitchen

I had little experience with baking so starting with macaron is a game changer. It's fun when you finally learn how to do the right consistency of the meringue and when to stop folding the batter.

    My full proof recipe is: Two egg whites 1/4 cup of sugar 1 cup confectioners sugar 3/4 cup almond flour Bake at 300 for 15-18 minutes for basic macarons. Adjust the time for larger or smaller macarons. No cream of tartar at all, and every time I bake with this recipe it works. I can't wait to try out your recipe next time!

    Now THIS is what I’m talking about when I say I want a macaron recipe. I’ve never had a macaron in the United States that has lived up to the ones I’ve had in France. Something is always off about them, and they never have that slight crunch on the outside with the soft inside that you spoke about in the end! I also see way too many half-assed macaron recipes online and even in some cookbooks. These recipes are for “easy” macarons. Hate to say it, but macarons aren’t supposed to be easy! That’s what makes them so delectable. I’ve never wanted to use one of these recipes because I just know that they aren’t going to turn out the way I want them to. Thank you for putting this much effort into your macarons! Those look marvellous. I will definitely be trying this recipe.

You give such good directions, I found it quite easy to follow. I only did 2 batches a day with buttercream as that took me 6 hrs. I’ll get better but they were so good. Thank you for the lessons.

    This clarifies so much. I followed the recipe twice. Both times, my batter was lumpy and thick and sticky no matter how much I folded it. I saw on reddit that other people had followed the same recipe with the same bad results. Turns out, my mistake was that I literally used 140 g almond flour (*after* sifting) and 130 g powdered sugar. I wish I had known those numbers are overestimated under the assumption that I'd weigh the ingredients *before* sifting and processing.
