the recipe I attached in the video is very much abridged! here is the full recipe with directions:
.｡*ﾟ+. full recipe ｡୨୧˚
ingredients:
92 g Almond flour
84 g Powdered sugar
70 g Egg whites
70 g Sugar
directions:
1. take 3 eggs out and leave for 2-3 hours to become room temperature. while waiting for eggs to become room temperature, set up your equipment: get out a kitchen scale, small bowl, medium-small bowl, medium-large bowl, hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk, spatula, medium-large piping bag with round tip in place, and two pans lined with parchment paper.
2. measure almond flour and powdered sugar into medium-small bowl. whisk together until a fine sand texture is achieved.
3. measure cane sugar into small bowl, put aside.
4. measure room temperature egg whites into medium-large bowl. using a hand mixer or stand mixer, begin beating egg whites on low. when the egg whites reach a foamy texture, gradually pour cane sugar in three batches. increase speed to medium and continue to beat egg whites. when peaks are glossy-white but still loose, add gel food coloring of choice. increase speed to high and beat egg whites until delicate stiff peaks form. do not over beat.
5. using a spatula, fold almond flour/powdered sugar mixture into meringue in three batches. perform figure-8 test to check batter consistency - should flow slowly like lava and glossy batter should gradually melt into itself.
6. fill piping bag with batter. pipe 1-inch rounds onto baking ban. tap the pan on a clothed surface to release air bubbles.
7. let shells dry for 30-45 minutes. it helps to turn on the AC or a fan to help shells form a matte casing.
8. preheat oven to 300 F for 10 minutes. place the macarons in the middle shelf one pan at a time, immediately lower temperature to 285 F, and bake for 14-15 minutes.
9. let shells cool on the pan before piping.

[@jessk717]

Hi! Love your video. I can't wait to try to make macarons again after several disappointments. I was looking for the Nerds with Knives blueberry curd and the one I found does not look thick and dark blue like yours. Can you please post the link to the recipe?

[@kl0h]

I’m so happy to hear that you’re reinspired to bake macarons!! Yes here’s the curd recipe: nerdswithknives.com/blueberry-lemon-curd/
In the recipe photos it looks bright pink/purple, but for me it’s a deep indigo when I make it. I follow the recipe directly, so I’m not sure how the author got such a bright pink! Happy baking!💜

Ich freue mich jetzt schon dieses tolle Rezept nach zu machen allerdings finde ich den Link nicht zu dem Blaubeer curd Help LG

Is that a Cuisinart Hand Mixer you’re using?

[@kl0h]

Yes - it’s a 26 year-old Cuisinart hand mixer! Was a wedding present for my parents!
