    I made this for friends, and they have DEMANDED that I make them again today. I wrote out the recipe so I don't have to keep playing the video over and over while I'm baking. Here you go:
    French Macarons
    based on the Cupcake Jemma Masterclass
    205g powdered sugar
    190g almond flour
    144g egg whites, split in two portions of 72g
    Food color paste (optional)
    190g sugar
    60ml water
    Thermometer
    Food Scale
    Plastic wrap
    Parchment Paper
    1. Put powdered sugar and almond flour into a food processor and blitz 16 times using short pulses. Sift into a medium-large bowl.
    2. Add 72g of egg whites to sugar-almond mix. Mix fairly vigorously. Add food color paste at this point. Cover with plastic wrap.
    3. Cooking over med-high heat in a small saucepan, heat sugar and water. Once it’s 110-degrees C/230-degrees F, start whipping 72g of egg whites in the standing mixer. Pull the sugar syrup off the heat once it reaches 118 degrees C/244-degrees F and add it to the egg whites, pouring the syrup down the side of the bowl. Beat until the meringue is glossy and forms soft, floppy peaks.
    4. Take one spoonful of meringue and add it to the sugar-almond batter. Mix a bit vigorously to loosen up the batter. Gently fold in the rest of the meringue and continue to fold until the batter, when poured off the spatula, folds into ribbons that don’t melt into the rest of the batter.
    5. Prepare a piping bag with a round tip. Prepare two cookie sheets with templates and parchment paper. Pipe macaron shells onto parchment paper, flicking the tip to avoid getting peaks. Once you’re done with all the shells, bang the cookie sheet pans to allow all the air in the cookies to come out. Use a toothpick to fix any craters. Pull the templates from the cookie sheets.
    6. Let macaron shells sit on the counter until a skin forms. Preheat oven to 165-degrees C/330-degrees F. Cook for 12 minutes. Take macarons off the cookie sheet and allow them to cool before filling.
    7. Fill with ganache, buttercream or curd.

    • @squidsbizarreadventure
      @squidsbizarreadventure 6 лет назад +57

      Katie Wilson it's not a precise measurement but 70 grams is about 2 egg whites. Macarons are quite finicky so maybe invest in a scale if you want to make them often.

    I transcribed the steps for myself but figured someone else might want them too!
    *Note: Observations that were not explicitly stated by Jemma and Dane are in [brackets]
    Instructions
    :
    Pour icing sugar and ground almonds into a food processor [at the same time-ish to mix them a bit as you pour.]
    Pulse the food processor about 16 times with each time taking about 30 seconds. Over-mixing will release oils from the almonds.
    Sift into a bowl [that is wider than the sieve to avoid spilling]. Discard the remaining bits. Do not push them through the sieve as they could blemish the surfaces of the cookies.
    Pour 72 g of the egg whites into the icing sugar and almonds
    [With a spatula] Mix this into a paste, somewhat vigorously. Over-working it could release oils from almonds
    Before that is completely mixed, add gel food coloring [with a toothpick] and then finish mixing the paste. Color will pale with addition of meringue.
    Cover with cling film to keep it from drying out and set aside
    Start the Italian meringue: Pour caster sugar and water into a saucepan
    Heat sugar syrup to 110 deg C [don’t need to stir, just wait]. (eventually, you’ll heat them up to 118 deg C. Heating to over 118 deg C will ruin the chewy texture of the macarons)
    When syrup is 110 deg C, pour the remaining 72g of egg whites into a stand mixer bowl with the whisk attached. Start mixing. [Stand mixer speed setting appears to be 7?]
    [Meringue has soft peaks]. When sugar syrup has reached 118 deg C, gently pour it down the side of the stand mixer bowl, avoiding the whisk
    Leave the meringue to mix until it gets back to room temperature. (In video, meringue whipped for 5-6 more minutes). Meringue should be glossy and flop over on the whisk when it’s removed (6:20 minutes in shows correct meringue consistency).
    Remove cling film from almond-icing sugar paste and dole a spatula-full of the meringue into it. [Looks like ⅓ to ½ of the meringue] and fold/mix it in. You can be quite vigorous in mixing.
    Add the rest of the meringue and fold it in, scraping around the edges of the bowl and then through the middle.
    Check the batter by lifting the spatula and letting it ribbon off. (If it forms a “v’ shape it’s not quite ready yet.) When it IS ready: Leave it a couple seconds after ribboning into the bowl. If ribbons are not completely melted into the surface of the batter in the bowl, it’s ready! (7:40 min into video shows correct batter consistency).
    Prepare a [large] piping bag with a round nozzle that’s about 1 cm in diameter. [Fold the bag down quite a bit to avoid a mess and try to pour the batter into the center of the bag, not the sides. Keep the nozzle pointed up a bit to avoid batter running out]
    Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper. You can print templates to place underneath. Ensure that there’s about an inch between each circle
    Pipe the batter: Hold the piping bag vertically over the center of the circle (on the template), piping only enough batter to fill the circle. Gently flick to finish each circle to avoid peaks [Dane flicks away from himself].
    Get rid of air bubbles by tapping the trays on the table [tap 7 times]. Poke any remaining air bubbles with a toothpick, wiggling the toothpick until the surfaces are smooth again.
    Add sprinkles now if you want them
    Allow them to sit for 30-50 minutes while a skin forms on their tops. The 50 minute end of that range is suggested for hot, humid climates. Dryer and cooler conditions require less time for the skin to form (30 or so minutes).
    [After waiting the 30-50 minutes, pick a sacrificial cookie to check by gently touching to see if the skin has formed and the cookie feels dry]
    Bake at 165 deg C for 12 minutes. [Cookie trays placed on 2 middle rack positions in oven]
    Check that they’re done: Gently touch a cookie. If the top comes away from the bottom, they need 1-2 more minutes.
    Slide the parchment paper off of the baking sheet and leave them to cool (took 15-20 minutes)
    (Make a Swiss or French buttercream (not American buttercream) for filling. -Or a ganache)
    Put filling into a piping bag fitted with ~1 cm diameter nozzle and flip over half of the cookies. Pipe enough filling so that it fills to the edge of the cookie. The blob is about 3 mm smaller radially than the cookie and about twice as tall. Close up those sandwiches
    Leave them in the fridge for 1-2 days for best shell texture

      😑 Buy a scale, amateurs! If you want consistent results, you measure consistently amd not with "uh I guess that's a rounded cup". Scales are like $20 and up and you'll never go through a dozen sad ruined macarons by measuring incorrectly. I was also sick of washing dumb nesting cup and spoon sets after baking frequently. You can weigh in any container.

      Kitchen scales are cheap and precise and much easier than those ridiculous cup measurements.

    If your a home cook - I recommend not bothering with the food processor - generally sifting is just enough unless you have very chunky almond meal. Also, when beating the egg whites - go a little bit further then peaks - otherwise it gets very liquidity.

    • @fia2960
      @fia2960 4 года назад +17

      @@suzannekan There's a few reasons why macarons can become hollow.
      The first reason is that they might have been over-whipped. This can lead to the macaron deflating a bit while baking - leaving a hollow inside
      The second reason could be because of the temperature. I suggest maybe next time turning up the oven's temperature by a few degrees - but baking for a little less time.

      Flour can have drastically different weights (depending in if it's sifted, scooped with a spoon, or scooped with the measuring cup its self). 120 g is a cup of all purpose flour. However people can get 90-130 g (potentially more) with measuring cups.
      I would recommend just getting a scale. If you don't want to you can Google conversations.

      Using a silpat mat is best. I find my macarons don't stick at all with a silpat. If they're sticking, they might be slightly undercooked, or that you didn't wait long enough for them to cool first. They should actually just fall right off the mat/paper if they're perfectly baked. :)

    I made them for the first time today. I've watched countless tutorials, read about them, and decided to go with your way of making them. They can be intimidating. So the first tray had few cracked shells but I quickly resolved that with my second tray. I have a crappy oven that has uneven temps and overbakes at some spots. So with my second tray, I positioned it differently and not a single shell was cracked. They are absolutely perfect. I'm not going to bother with any other tutorials, this recipe and technique is a keeper. It's straight forward. If you follow exactly you'll have success. Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial. It's fantastic.

      Kinga B Thank u! I’m from US too so I find almond flour, wasn’t sure if it was the same thing as ground almonds tho.. tried looking it up and there wasn’t much help. I had used almond meal which is probably why it didn’t work for me, thx!

    I just gave this a try and substituted the almond flour (allergies) with 1/2 cup (100g) coconut flour and the results were amazing. This was my first attempt at making macarons and now I don't feel intimidated by them. And the ganache video was extremely helpful as well. Thank you!

    Amazing recipe! Made this twice already in the past 2 days. This is a good base recipe for many flavors; made one in pandan flavor, and another in Thai Milk Tea flavor by slightly adjusting the recipes and using white chocolate ganache of the different flavors; came out perfect! However, this recipe makes a ton of macarons! I made 1/4 of the recipe which made 20-24 macarons (i.e. 40-48 individual cookies).
    Tips on piping: I did not print out a template as a guide. Instead, prior to transferring the batter to a piping bag, I used a 3cm round cookie cutter and just dipped the tip in the batter and used it as a "stamp" to make round impressions on my baking mat.

    I've been determined to succeed at making macarons. I've watched dozens of videos. In the last seven days since I began this venture, I've failed each and every time! At least nine fails in seven days. Today I watched this video for the second time this week. I decided earlier in the week after watching it the first time that I wasn't going to try this recipe because the itallian merangue was stepping out of my comfort zone. Today, after failing so many times, I watched this video again. I decided to give it a try. I'm at the point where I don't really care. What's one more failed macaron?? I have two teenage boys that are enjoying eating my flops. I was sure this wouldn't turn out. I followed the directions exactly and when I opened the oven door I about burst into tears!!! They were perfect! I couldn't believe it!!! I was about to give up. Thank you Jemma and Dane! Now if someone could tell me how to get rich, vibrant colors I'd be one happy woman!!! I"m using gel coloring but I want the super bright colors!

    Finally got to try this recipe after getting my hands on a kitchen thermometer. It’s definitely a can’t fail recipe which shells coming out beautifully. Everyone messaged me about how i managed to get such beautiful shells and feet. Not me, it’s this recipe.
    Tried to make macarons the french way because i didn’t have a kitchen therm and it was just disastrous. I was so scared of over whipping the meringue that i under whipped it. With this recipe, i didn’t even have to use my brains that much, just let the recipe do it’s job.
    I live in Singapore where the humidity is sky high, all year round really, so my shells were not drying out even after 1.5hrs. So i heat up my oven on the lowest temperature, turn it off and putting all the shells into the oven to dry. Definitely did the trick.
