  • Macarons take a lot of practise to perfect so I've made this tutorial as detailed as possible to make it clear and easy for you to follow. I even have a trick to use up those egg yolks that usually go to waste!
    This is the foundation recipe of all the macarons I make no matter what shape, colour or flavour they are. If there is a particular macaron you want me to make then comment below!
    Enjoy!
    Georgia x
    Recipe:
    Macaron:
    100g icing sugar
    100g ground almonds
    35g egg white
    100g caster sugar
    25ml water
    35g egg white
    Food colouring
    Buttercream:
    45g egg yolk
    90g caster sugar
    125g softened butter
    Vanilla Pod

I’ve made these before (ages ago) and they came out PERFECT, I’m about to make them again but I can’t for the life of me remember what I did for oven temperature? I think it was 135•C but for how long? Thank you so much!! 😊

    Hi Georgia! New follower here and I’ve got to say I am loving all that you are sharing!! I do want to say though (you 😊 may have already been told) in the U.S. there is a BIG difference between a MACARON and a MACAROON. The Macaroon is a coconut cookie! I am looking forward to seeing all of your yummy creations!!! Keep them coming!

    If I make them how long will they both last for?
    I wanted to make them two days before adding them as the decoration on a cake. Would that be ok?
    Thanks so much!! x

    Hi Georgia, I love your tutorials, thankyou so much, however could you tell me how you would store the Macarons, meringue kisses, cakes ect until needed. I take it that you dont make all of your toppers on the same day as making your cake. Also I live your sponge recipe, how long and how would I store it before decorating x

  • @disneyduchess889
    @disneyduchess889 Před 5 lety +1

    Macaroons are made with coconut and have chocolate drizzle. They were my gpas favourite cookie. They're similar to Flourentines but not so thin.
    Macarons are basically meringue sandwich cookies. The name Macaron is short for Macaronage, which is the specific folding technique used to incorporate the meringue and almond mixtures together. French or Italian are the most popular and refers to which meringue was used. There's also a Swiss macaron, but that one isn't as common to find.
    Hope that passes on the knowledge!! This was my first time on your channel and you now have a new follower!!🤩🤩

    This is an update on my post 6 days ago. I made my 2nd batch yesterday and it worked perfectly again. No hollows!!! That was my problem before as I was using the French meringue method. Note though that I am using a hand mixer and initially I got a 'soupy' meringue. The correction I made is to whipped my egg whites to firm peaks before I add the sugar syrup. Thank you very much for your video.

    • @debraharris879

      Yes, the macarons mature and take on some of the flavour of the filling and the shells actually soften a bit.

    This looks amazing! I've been reading about and watching macaron videos for years but now I think I'm actually going to try making them. Thank you for such a lovely video. And I love that you didn't waste the egg yolk, it got used up in the batch of filling.
    I couldn't help but admire your pink food scale. Would love to get myself one of those. Could you share where you got it from? I tried googling it but that one didn't come up. Thanks very much.

Thanks again for all your wonderful and inspiring videos!

    • @GeorgiasCakes

    Can I ask what model your kitchen aid is that you use on this video? I’ve wanted one for years, I’ve had a kenwood one but I think I want to go for a kitchenaid this time but I need one with a decent size bowl and yours looks like it’s a good size!

    @maryannpickering9004 Před 7 lety

    Really straight forwards and clear vid, I have a question what speed are you whisking the egg whites on and for how long before you add sugar syrup and then what speed do you turn it down to. Thanks so much

    • @GeorgiasCakes
      @GeorgiasCakes  Před 7 lety

      You want a medium - high speed to make sure they are whisked up enough before adding the sugar syrup - just make sure you don't ever whisk them otherwise they start to separate!
