Hi Renee . I have been fan of for long time this is my first comment I always enjoyed watching your videos love your sugar flowers wish if I could make one of them one day
Hi! I'm so glad you commented! Thank you so much for watching :) I love making sugar flowers... I hope to make some more tutorials this year- they are just a bit more time consuming to film. I bet if you try making one you'll surprise yourself :)
Geweldig!! Dat is een wens van mij, ook eens heerlijke macarons te maken. Mij mislukken ze steeds. Maar gelukkig lukken mijn andere taarten wel. Groeten uit Apeldoorn (Netherlands)
Macaroons are my favorite! Great tutorial. I have made these three times in the past year. My second batch was a dud. I overmixed and had to throw out the batter. I was upset about it because that almond flour is not cheap! 🤪
I've been there! It took me a bit to learn to stop mixing before I ruined the batter! It's hard to stop fussing with it, lol. But, throw out the batter a few times, or have failed macarons and I learned to just leave it alone, once I got there! Macarons are my favorite too!!
dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last few days :)
Thanks! Stopping the mixer momentarily to add powdered colorant shouldn't hurt them. I wouldn't recommend stopping the mixer for very long, but just for a moment won't deflate them. If I'm using a gel color for my macarons I wouldn't bother to stop the mixer... But, for the concentrated powdered color, I don't want it kicking back up with me, so I always stop the mixer when I add it. In my experience there is not ill effect to the egg whites.
Great video! Thank you so much for this 😊 I just have one quedtion: I've learned to do macarons with an italian meringue rather than a french one. Do you know how much of a difference that makes, or if it doesn't matter that much? I just remembered a second question! The last couple of times I've made macarons they ended up kind of "rough" on the top. Why could that be, do you think? I both mixed and sifted the almond flour, so that shouldn't be the reason... Thanks 😊
+Tootikii I think the Italian method makes the meringue a little more stable so it's less likely that you will encounter problems. I chose this method because it's a little less fussy. If you are certain that you removed large chunks from the almond meal the rough tops might be from slightly under mixed batter.
Renee Conner I see! Thank you 😊 I thought that might have been the problem, yeah. Got too afraid to ruin it by overmixing, I didn't mix it enough 😅 Makes sense! Thanks again!
I have tried to make macarons in the past and they ALWAYS end up being hollow. It is so frustrating. Do you know why this might be? I will give your recipe a try. Thanks!!☺
Could be under-whipped egg whites, or possibly just under-baked shells. If you take them out before the cookies are fully set, the center will deflate as they cool. If in doubt it is better to slightly over bake, leave them in 1-2 minutes longer than you think you need. Even if a little browning occurs or they are slightly dry. When you fill them, then leave them to "mature" overnight, they will absorb some moisture from the filling to compensate.
Great recipe. But my 2 concerns is that my cookies turn golden even though I put dye in it and that it sticks to the parchment. I want my cookies to be a vibrant color as yours. Help
Try turning down the heat in the oven by a little bit and bake it for longer. You can also try baking on the middle or bottom rack in the oven. Ovens can be different and might be off-calibration so the temp might not be exact, you just nee to find the "sweet spot" of temp and time. If they are browning, but still sticking to the parchment, the temp is a little too high so the outer shell is baking too fast. The best way I've found to get really vibrant colors is to use the powdered food color, I buy it from globalsugarart.com. No matter what kind of color you use, you will want to dye the meringue/batter darker than you think you need, even if the meringue doesn't brown, the color will fade a bit when baked.
For the best results I highly-recommend weighing the ingredients, so much so that I don't want to post volume measurements. However, if you want to try this recipe, but don't have a scale you can try it with 4 Large Egg Whites, 1.5 Cups Almond Flour, 1.5 Cups Powdered Sugar, 3 TBSP Granulated Sugar. Just keep in mind the disclaimer, using volume measurements can lead to variations in the ratio because measuring techniques, differences in ingredients, etc... if you run in to trouble with the recipe, it is likely that it's because the measurements are off.

@Zion Dakota yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
They look great! Just a tip from baker to baker, when whipping egg whites, don’t stop the mixer, as it deflates them.

You're welcome :)
Can someone translate to cups the ingredients 😭
Love your videos!! What is your oven temp. at? Thanks! :)
Renee Conner, thank you! Hoping to make these sometime this week 👍😊
Thank you for the recipe but can you please tell me The oven temperature thank you
+Sonia Goday 300 degrees F
Can I halved this recipe? I would like to practice baking macarons with small batches...
Yes, you can!

Renee Conner thank you! I love gel better but I'll keep you updated :)
Im confused....do u want us to seperate the egg white n yolks n leave them out in room temperature for hours or overnight????
+Norma Jean You can store them in the fridge covered overnight, then bring to room temp before using.
Not sure about the measurements .... like cups, Tablespoons, teaspoons in comparison to grams
For the best results I highly-recommend weighing the ingredients, so much so that I don't want to post volume measurements. However, if you want to try this recipe, but don't have a scale you can try it with 4 Large Egg Whites, 1.5 Cups Almond Flour, 1.5 Cups Powdered Sugar, 3 TBSP Granulated Sugar.

Grams are more accurate.
How lovely you are *.*
Thank you :)
