To be honest, I was hesitant to upload this macarons video because I know many will fail from their first attempt. This is one of the most problematic cookies to make according to most people. Most blame on the humidity, but I think more likely because they lack of patient to learn and know their oven well, so as for their folding skills. There is no secret behind making French macaron, but it definitely needs lots of patient and discipline to execute it. Although, it uses only a few ingredients, the ingredients are expensive. This is not for beginners and occasional bakers. You need patient to fold the batter. You need to be observant enough to know when to stop folding because batter consistency is very important when baking this goodies. Discipline enough to keep an eye on the condition the macaron is in (humidity and temperature wise), and also learn how your oven operates. Once you mastered all this, it will be so easy to make macarons anytime on any day. So if this is your first time making macarons, please think carefully what you getting yourself into. Watch the video carefully without skipping so you won’t miss any important information. Recipe given to you with the exact measurements. The baking temperature and time works on my oven. You should use it as a guideline to find out which temperature and time that works with your own oven. Learning how your oven functions work is out most important. The second important is your folding skills. How long it takes for the egg whites to reach stiff peaks depend on the quality and temperature of your eggs and the speed of you hand mixer. For example, medium speed on my hand mixer can be high speed for some other brands of mixers. I know someone will ask how long it takes to fold the batter, and how many folds. I find it a nonsense and ridicules, because when folding with hands, it can gives inconsistent speed from person to person. You just need to figure it out yourself when to stop folding by paying attention to the batter consistency. That is why I always said be observant. Compare your batter consistency that shown in the video. That is what baking tutorial videos are there for. All that said, I wish all of you good luck and success. Happy baking everyone.
You’re my savior Michael . I almost gave up on making Macaron since I have tried so many times. I was hesitant to try yours but I told myself I should do it . My very 1st time with your recipe and your instructions about folding . I did it and I was so happy to make it from now on. Macaron is my kids favorite . Many thanks to our master . Thank you so much . Wishing you always healthy
Dear Master ! Have you ever used the silicon mats for the macarons . I ran into the problem with it . I tried 4 times and my macarons didn’t have any feet on the bottom but it rising . I did success on my last 4 times with parchment papers . I don’t know whether the problems came from the mats or my folding . Please advise . Should I kept using the parchment ? Many thanks
Hey Miachel ...a very big thanks to you...i tried almost 6-7 receipies but didnt got the Macarons...but today tried your receipe and got the Macarons in first try...the perfect receipe to try. Thanks once again
Thank you chief Lim for this new recipe. I saw you added corn starch. First time I was trying some other macaron's recipe, I failed, and I was thinking about adding some corn starch to have that perfect texture they were showing in their videos. But like you said, almond flour is expensive and I didn't have the chance to try my idea (adding corn starch). But now that I saw it in your video, I won't hold back anymore 💪
I have failed so many times in making french macarons and i gave up. When i saw this video and how details your instructions are, i guess why not give another one last try. You know what? I almost cry because it was a success this time!!! Thank you so much master. God bless you.
Your post is absolutely right on the money. Making macarons is the easiest cookie I make. At first I was scared to death to even try them given all the disasters & gossip around. One day I decided I was just going to bite the bullet & give them a try. OMG, it was actually very easy as long as you just pay attention to the batter & how it falls back down on itself & dissolves back in. You don't have to be so methodical at all. I think the biggest hurdle is forgetting how persnickety everyone says they are & just make them. I e never tried the Italian meringue style but might just to see what the difference is but it's just extra steps that you don't need to do. Thanks so much for posting this!! This will truly help people get over the fear of making macarons now. 💝💝💝💝
Hello Michael lim , i made many recipe. Didn’t like ít ,your recipe the best , I loved it, so l made 6 time your recipe still the same, wonderful, your recipes are the best, thanks so much have nice day,
I’ve always been so afraid to try to make macarons, I, glad you are dung this step by step and slowly so I can follow along. Those look wonderful thank you very much for this
So glad you uploaded this video - I was happy to “see” what the batter should look like at the various steps. I have made macarons a few times - I always seem to get the feet - but have had hollow insides - it sounds like I use be over folding the batter...I am going to try again - I want to conquer this! Thank you.
I know some people succeeded after many attempts, some succeeded after the first time. I have never tried it. After reading your dedicated notes, I might try soon. Thank you so much for your kindness, Michael.
I haven't even tried making your recipe but I have so much more confidence because there are so many details of what to look for. Thank you so much! This is by far THE best macaron instructional video out on youtube.
This man makes it look easy, but let me tell you making macarons is hard. So many variables can off set this dessert. I just found this out about 12 mins. ago. Chef Lim; nothing but respect. 🙇♀️
Think I had posted a comment before.. But I cannot resist but to comment again... I simply enjoy your videos, even if I will not be trying out the recipe... You are so meticulous and methodical...it's a joy to watch....👍 Thanks so much for sharing...💖💝
First, I just want to say Thank You for sharing your recipes. Your recipes are the only one that I follow that always turn out pefect. I'm always happy with the results, unlike the other chanels, some are even professional chefs, but the result doesn't look like their final product. Again, Thank you for sharing your knowledge.. More Blessings to you.. Cha from Canada
When you don't know someone's birthday, just wish them a Happy Birthday every day, or every time you see them. One day you will get it right, or you will get them to tell you the date of their birthday, just so they can stop you from being so annoying. That is what my father tells me... < :º)
thank you very much for another beautiful video content! i make French macarons everyday at my workplace, so, all the informations you have given, i feel it! keep inspiring 😊🙏🏻🥳
Thank you so much for the recipe. However, I got a thick batter though I fold it for many many times. Could I have some suggestions for improving it? Thanks!
Thaaaaaaaaaankkkk youu.....I dont bake atall and suddenly I was interested in baking because its quarantine and it's boring here...and I decided to begin with something very complicated...so my first two attempt at baking macarons had much more ingredients and eventhough it turned to be yummy it was not perfect...I was experimenting different recipes from youtube to find out which was the best...I finally found this man here 😭😭💔💔 this is perfect fellas...do try this recipe
I just wrote a feedback to you regd my bake. Q) i just noticed my 2 trays of macarons have different colours. Ist tray is more like beidge colour. 2nd tray is pink , just like b4 baking. 2nd tray is right colour. Temp & timing same.
amazing tutorial..on point and precise..Appreciated the real time video part..Thank you for sharing your techniques and methods..Truly a fool proof to those first timers attempting making macarons. Keep it up and looking forward to more baking sessions.
Thank you Michael for your kind sharing..certainly I cant meet up to your standard but nonetheless I will try to bake these macarons according to your recipes..
Would you please add the french subtitles to your videos so that everyone can learn from you. Thank you so much for your condsideration and your amazing work
OK, I'm pausing the video right at the egg beating phase to write this and say "thank you!" for the real-time part. I've tried macrons soooo many times and something always goes wrong and all I seem to get when I try to find out why is "well maybe you beat your eggs too long" and also "maybe you didn't beat your eggs long enough!" and "you didn't add your sugar to the eggs at the right time!" But every stupid one of these fixes try to describe when to do it and for how long, but none show it because we apparently don't have the attention span to watch it done real time. So THANK YOU for doing that here. Now I'm going to beat this culinary challenge! heh
Thank you Michael for answering my question.I have ditched the old strainer I realised the whole were far too small. I am actually making a batch right now, I left it to rest, I am going to do the same lol. Seriously, it looks good, like yours. Grand merci.
I love your video, the only one that shows exactly what batter looks like when its ready, it took me 7 times to get it just right a few years ago, wish your video would've been out then, who sees lava flows, right?! now they are easy to make, although I like the Italian method better.

OK, I'm pausing the video right at the egg beating phase to write this and say "thank you!" for the real-time part. I've tried macrons soooo many times and something always goes wrong and all I seem to get when I try to find out why is "well maybe you beat your eggs too long" and also "maybe you didn't beat your eggs long enough!" and "you didn't add your sugar to the eggs at the right time!" But every stupid one of these fixes try to describe when to do it and for how long, but none show it because we apparently don't have the attention span to watch it done real time. So THANK YOU for doing that here. Now I'm going to beat this culinary challenge! heh
Bellissimo e delizioso!😋👍😍

Thank you so much 😍😍
Recently I did it thank you so much I wish I could send for you a photo for a wonderful macrons
Thank you Michael for answering my question.I have ditched the old strainer I realised the whole were far too small.
I am actually making a batch right now, I left it to rest, I am going to do the same lol.
Seriously, it looks good, like yours.
Grand merci.
I meant the holes, excuse my French...
Wish you lots of success. Please do share your results on my Facebook page. I am always curious with my followers results.
Don't worry your English is fine. 😊
Thank you chef !definitely I'm going to try this recipe .
You are perfect Michael. I Like your videos. Keep it up.
Love them . Thank you so much Chefs
thank you my angel .... i'm here on your channel
I have made macarons several times using different recipes. This is the first recipe I have seen using cornstarch. What is the purpose for that?
I love your video, the only one that shows exactly what batter looks like when its ready, it took me 7 times to get it just right a few years ago, wish your video would've been out then, who sees lava flows, right?! now they are easy to make, although I like the Italian method better.
I've tried so many times, but it's never dry though I rest it in 1 hour or more, what's wrong?
Thanks for your recipe 🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome😍
