Thank you so much for this video! I believe it’s the meringue technique that worked for me. I’ve tried countless times to make these and they looked beautiful, but hollow. This is the first time they looked beautiful and full! The upside down pan didn’t work in my oven, they came out lopsided and domed, but they came out just perfect with the pan sitting the right way :) thank you!
Hi, TJ!! You're welcome. And I really appreciate your feedback. I'm happy that this video has been helpful for you. Yay for the full macarons!!! And I totally agree that meringue technique is so important for full macarons. That was a turning point for me too.
I am so excited to try your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a very Merry Christmas.
SAME FOR ME! You’re amazing Shinee, thank you.
I struggled with several recipes on UA-cam. If it wasn’t cracked shells, it was hollow cookies. The worst was either no feet or tiny feet. Your recipe worked the first time! Perfect ruffled feet 1/3 the thickness of the entire cookie! Thank you for sharing your miracle recipe!!
Your tutorial is so good! I love how you are not only showing us how but also explaining the reasons behind.
😊h
I have tried literally 4-5 video recipes (probably all ones everyone else has) and failed every single time, literally for.a week straight! THIS ONE WORKS!! This was the first video that helped me get a hard top with small feet. My macaron's feet are still lopsided but I think it was due to my piping skills. I also cut this recipe in half just incase it wasn't going to work out because life. The only thing I noticed that I had to up my speed to get firmer peaks on the meringue. I have a KitchenAid hand mixer and went from a level 3 to 4 (medium to medium high). Any lower and it stayed soft peaks. The macronage is really what got me. Really follow her on getting that texture and how it very slightly melts back into the batter after the "8" figure.I really think this is what gave me success. I also didn't need to rest them as long, which has been a challenge for me. They skinned up in about 5-10 mins.I ended up piping baby shells at about 1" diameter and took them out at 8-9 mins at 300 F. Super cute and I'm finally happy and can sleep easy. Thank you Shinee!!
Yay, I'm so happy to hear your macaron success, Deedee!! Thank you SO much for sharing. And I'm glad you found my video helpful!!! It sounds like you're well on your way finding your groove with your tools and oven. If you have an Instagram, please share your photos and tag me, so I can see them too. And also I'd love it if you leave this comment under the recipe post as well. It really helps other readers. (No pressure though.)
Hey Shinee! Just letting you know that after SEVERAL attempts, I finally nailed macarons. I couldn't have done it without you and I can't wait to learn how to make even more flavors.
Hooray! So happy for your macaron success! Thanks for sharing!!!
@@ShineeD hello just wanted to ask exactly how many tablespoons of sugar did you add?
I cant thank you enough. My son takes French in school and loves to bring these to class. I've struggled to get good feet. Finally! You are a blessing. We have one happy 13yo. I made your chocolate macaron recipe. Made it dairy and gluten free.
I've been struggling with hollow macarons for so long but your recipe and techniques helped me finally get full shells! This video and your website are fantastic resources. Thanks for your hard work!!
Yay, thank you so much for your feedback!! I'm so glad my videos were helpful!!
i've never gotten proper feet on my macarons before. when i tried your method and these came out of the oven, i yelled with the shock of how beautiful they are. you, ma'am, are a wizard!
This is the best how-to macaron guide! Thank you!
Thank you so much! It means a lot!
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Tried other recipes too, but yours is the only one that worked for me.
Aww, so happy to hear that! Thank you for trusting my recipe and sharing your feedback, Emme!
Hi Shinee! I’ve made coffee macaroons for the first time ever, I carefully followed all your instructions and my macaroons have turned out perfect! My boyfriend ate half of them even before I took a bite ahahaha Thanks a lot for your tips!
Ah, so happy to read your feedback, Carolina!! Glad to hear that my tips were helpful!! Coffee macarons sounds so tasty! Your boyfriend has a good taste. :p Thank you for sharing!
hi ! i’m looking to make the same flavor, may i ask where you got the recipe for the filling ?
Thank you Shinee for sharing your recipe and tips.
I’ve tried different recipes to no avail but this recipe of yours worked so easily. I’m looking forward to bake more with other flavors.
Appreciate your time, effort and sharing. 😊
Thank you for your feedback!!
I attempted macarons for the very first time this past weekend. I watched lots of videos but followed your recipe and video exactly. While not perfect, my macarons came out very well for the first time. Your tips were great! I imagine the 95% humidity in South Louisiana could play some part in my success. Thanks again for sharing your recipe and videos.
Aww, thanks so much for sharing your feedback, Gina! So happy my recipe worked for you! 95% humidity could definitely affect macarons. It's best to run your AC and have a fan nearby for drying the shells.
Girrrrl, yes! Same problem in summer in the mountains of Southwest Virginia lol. I don't have AC either, I just put them under a ceiling fan, and put a big square floor fan on the table next to them. It does help, but they just have really short feet lol. It's way better in winter with the woodstove going!
Thank you so much! Your meringue demonstration was exactly what I needed to see! I thought I had been whipping the meringue long enough, but I wasn't. My macarons are nearly perfect now :)
Yay, so happy my video was helpful to you, Kelli! Thank you for your feedback!
Sheinee I can’t thank you enough!! after six months, I finally had two consecutive perfectly made batches!! Also, your filling book is fantastic! You’re a gem!!! 🏅💎
Woo-hoo!! So happy for you, Maria!! Thank you for sharing your macaron success and supporting my work!!!
Omg! Been failing for atleast 6 times but after I tried your recipe and and methods I finally have almost perfect macarons! Thank you so much!!! 🤗🤗
Yay, I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing your macaron success, Ricaday!!
I loved this video because you have tried different methods purposefully. It makes a lot of sense too me the things that have gone wrong with mine and why. Thank you. Look forward to trying...again. I will let you know if it comes out perfect this time.
Hi,
I made macarons last night with the recipe and tips and they turned out by far the best. I finally have feet, even distribution, no gap, shiny top. Although the bottom wasn't shiny and the rise was fair. I used your buttercream recipe base also and I tried one macaron today and I was impressed. Only different thing was I tried a method of melting shell in oven first to get the top shiny and I folded a ton to get the mixture smooth. I'm so happy. I have been trying to make a good macaron for months now. Thanks I appreciate all your helpful guiding, I'm pretty confident of basics about what I'm doing now. 💗
Hi! I wanted to let you know how much your video and recipe have helped me to make nearly perfect macarons. Yours was the 5th recipe I’ve tried and the first time I had full shells. Thank you so much for making this video and for all of the tips!
So happy to hear your macaron success and that my video helped you. Thank you so much for your feedback, Laura!
Would it work to double this recipe? Thanks
@@lauraseltzer9105 Yes, definitely!
Shinee D thank you for the help
Thank you so much for taking time to explain the process of making macarons. I tried it for the first time today with my five 9-yr-old students and we were successful. I was worried because the oven was a convection oven so I told them we might fail (which is ok; since it was our first try). I’m so glad we didn’t. Thanks again!
P.S. I think the cream of tartar makes a difference. That extra insurance gave me some confidence. And I also followed the steady number 2 setting for the mixer. We actually used a handheld mixer because my kitchenAid would be too heavy to bring to our school.
Sheinee i dont know from where to start really such an amazing decent women, i have been watching ur macaron series yesterday all day! Such amazing all the details and vedios and techniques ,i made my firts patch using Italian recipe came out very unpleasant,i tried your recipe one time and it went half way perfect not done yet ! I ll keep trying using ur methods just couldn’t skip not to thank you and wish me luck i guess my missing part was i under mix the batter as macaron cames out cracked on top and pointue and didnt rise ll try again am very optimistic to get it right thank you lady much appreciated 💕
Aww, so sweet of you! And thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you found my videos helpful! Wish you good luck with your next batch, Rana!
Thanks so much for the tutorial it helps a lot more then the regular recipes online
Thank you Shinee! Your videos were the most helpful and the most detailed! I was able to make really nice macarons with your help on macroner technique and meringue process.
I live in North Carolina and I was assisted by a lady from far away North Dakota! I am also not able to buy macarons in my small town.
I will look for other videos from you. Thank yo so much! Robin Sams
One of the best macarons recipes on UA-cam ❤….I had to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Finally I did it!!! Thank you very much I follow your merengue video and I did right what you show on video. I am just excited for how I bake it!!! Thank you Thank you after many tried!!
Yay, I'm SO happy for your macaron success!!! Thanks for sharing!
Haven't had any success with my macarons since it's the monsoon season in my country.. She was very patient with every questions that I had.. Thank you!!
I made my first batch using this recipe and they turned out great! I was curious about other recipes so I tried another one from UA-cam and it ended tragically. I learnt my lesson so I'm for sure gonna be using this one every single time now lol.
Ah, I'm so happy my recipe worked for you!! Thank you so much for your feedback!!
Wich one did you try before this ? Pls answerrr im gonna make macarons for the first time and dont know wich recepie to follow
@@yagmur983 follow this one. I tried Tasty's recipe
I always love that old sifter. It won't give so much mess. Hey, thank you so much for your tip 😊 😘
Thank you, looks so complicated but you make it look easy will try.
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. You made the entire process look so simple and easy to do. Most importantly, I managed to make the perfect macaroon shells in the second attempt. Thank you once again.
Thanks ❤for this video. This is the only recipe that consistently works for me.
hello i want to say thank you for the first time i managed to make perfect macarons i had already made hundreds of times but it was never perfect thanks, 👍
Yay, so happy for your macaron success! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Im honestly so happy this recipe worked thanks for sharing 😭💕 my macaroons did come out crunchy but I think it might’ve left them in the oven too long 😅 I’ll have to try again ! But for my 1st time I’m pretty proud of myself ! Update : they turned from crunchy I was surprised !! Is that supposed to happens maybe the buttercream in the middle ??
Hi, Bekah! I'm so happy you read about your macaron success!!! So glad my recipe worked for you. Yes, it's perfectly normal for macarons to soften after maturing. That's why it's better to over-bake macarons than under-bake them. Thank you for sharing your feedback, Bekah!
Hi, just want to thank you for this video, i tried 4 times until i got it. The macaron is not perfect yet, it was hard to pipe for a beginner like me, but so happy i made the perfect meringue this time🥰
Yay, so happy my videos are helpful to you. Keep on perfecting your technique. Good luck!
Hi thank u very much for ur recepi.I followed your recepi to make macaron it really came out well.My kids are very happy and we all enjoyed.Thank you very much
So happy to hear that, Fasla!!! Thank you for your feedback!

Best video!! Informative and so easy to understand thank you!!
He probado varias recetas y ninguna m3 ha quedado tan perfecta como la suya. Macarons esponjosos, aún estoy aprendiendo a dominar el merengue pero quedaron espectaculares. Gracias por aportar de tu conocimiento.
Thorough and very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, Diane! So happy it was helpful to you.
This was my second attempt at macarons and omgg I followed you're recipe and these shells are delicious 😭 better than the 40 dollar box of macarons that I bought from a bakery! The shells also look really pretty 🤭
Yay, so happy to hear your macaron success!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
really appreciate this. very detailed guidelines compare to other videos that i have seen.
Thank you so so much for thia recipe!!! ❤️ A very helpfull vídeo! Thanks ❤️
My meringue was a wrong I know I just continue to see what happened but this was the first time I could lift them without the parchment so I'm happy, thank you so much
Yay, so happy to read this. Thanks for sharing, Sue!
@@ShineeD I'm still missing or overdoing in some part (still think the meringue) but the second time we're hollow but with feet, thank you so much for this I'm extremely happy how things are going, love from Costa Rica 💕
Hi, I am so excited to see that it is not thaaaaat difficult to make macarons! 😄 I haven’t tried it so it looks easy. Once I go in the kitchen …. 😅 I love the plastic tray that fits your macarons perfectly, and the green/purple boxes that fit 4 and 7 macarons. May I ask where you got the plastic tray and boxes from? 🙏🏼
Great video!! Thank you for sharing 😋
Excellent instructions. Making them right now.
Thank you! Hope macaron gods were with you today. :)
Thank you so much for this video now I will follow your tips and will share the result soon
Sounds great!!! Good luck and I look forward to your feedback.
Thank you! Great instructions. One note: I have the same kitchen aid as you and at setting 2 nothing happened for 20 minutes. It got the whites foamy but that’s all. I dialed it up to 4 and it still took another 20 minutes to get firm peaks. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out!
Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to try your recipe.
You're welcome, Nasdy! Let me know how it turns out.
Loved this recipe, very helpful!
So happy to hear that. Thanks!
I truly love the idea of you flipping the baking sheet upside down to tap which is more quieter than the other way I was doing it, which is noisy considering living in a apartment. I will try that method. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you purchase your sealed container for your dry ingredients? Thank you for your time.
Hi, Charlene. Yes, patting the baking sheet with a hand is much quieter! I think you'll like that a lot. I got those containers on Amazon. I linked everything I use here on this page: www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-fa14dd20?listId=1TE3H78LZ7UVF
Thank you ur recipe and how u explain is amazing i never had these delicious and nice shaped one
So happy my video was useful to you! Thank you for your feedback, Ziba!
I finally achieved feet on my macarons! thank you!
Yay, thanks so much for sharing your macaron success, Ruth!!!
Do you have fillings recipe videos too? I would like to learn both white and brown filling recipes and the white baking sheet link ❤
Thank you so much for making this video 🥰😍🎉🥳💕
Hi Shinee! I want to thank you for your very detailed macarons recipe! I tried so many recipes for years, and after I watched your video tutorial I made 3 batches with 3 different colors! Your recipe it's amazing! Thank YOU! 😊
Thank you for this video. I will try making macarons tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Good luck!! Let us know how they turn out!
Just made macarons for the second time and twice it was a fail.. I wonder why the first time I made it, it doesn’t have a feet, but it is still good, this second try, it’s perfect but when I bite it .. it was hollow and I was so frustrated and wonder why it was doing it.. I watched your video and you showed every detail on how you make it and after I watched your video, I subscribe quickly because I know you share everything .. thank you for sharing, I’m excited to try it again..
Aww, thank you SO much for your feedback, and congrats on your macaron success. Hollow macarons are SO common, so don't fret about it too much. But I do have a video on how to fix hollow macarons. Hope you'll find it helpful: ua-cam.com/video/YHSLiUraSsA/v-deo.html
very good explanation
EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you!!
Hi there. I am wondering why the macarons look like they have been coated with shellac at 18:03. I have never seen macarons shells glisten before. Did you spray them or coat them with something? Thanks for the video.
Hi, Vincent! Great observation!! They were right out of the freezer. So they're shiny because of condensation. I don't recommend thawing frozen macarons at room temperature though, exactly because of this issue. It was done only for the video. :) Thanks for watching!!
Hello I enjoyed watching your video. I am new to the macaron making. I am learning a lot by watching your video. Where is the recipe for the filling? It looks amazing!!!

I have been using your recipe every time I make macarons and can’t believe how beautiful they turn out! Smooth tops, full shells and perfect ruffled feet BUT the last couple times I made them, they looked perfect but they were so crunchy and crumbled. Even after maturing in the fridge overnight with Swiss buttercream they still stayed hard and crumbled when you bite into them 🤦♀️ Did I over or under mix, left them out to form a skin too long or possibly over baked them? They didn’t slip when I checked them, nor did they get brown around the edges. This is driving me crazy and would love some tips and/or input on what to do to fix them! Thank you in advance ❤️
Hi, Lisa! That sounds strange, because I'm assuming you're baking the macarons in the same oven at the same temp setting and for the same amount of time as you've before with perfect result, right? I don't think over- or under-mixing batter and drying for too long could cause crunchy macarons. Over-baking is the main culprit for hard, crunchy macaron shells. To fix, you can either mature them longer, like 48 hours with buttercream filling, or swipe a little bit of milk on the bottom of each shell before filling them. Hope this helps.
Definitely sounds like over baking or high temperatures in the oven. I would get an oven thermometer and gauge it by that and not the oven beep I’ve seen many different ovens range up to 50 degrees different than the setting it was put on.
I know you might not read this comment but I had to say thank you at last I could manage to make successful macarons😊
I will give it Try, I will let you know how they turn out ! wish me luck !!
Good luck!!! Looking forward to hear your feedback.
Thank you perfect recipe ❤️
Hi, I’ve just made your macaron recipe for the second time and turned out great again. Thank you.
I haven’t filled the shells as yet. How long will they last infilled as I don’t need them till Wednesday (5days). Should I keep them in the fridge till then or will they be ok out in a cupboard (in an airtight container of course)😊
Hi, they'll be fine on the counter/cupboard for up to a week. You can also refrigerate them too, but not necessary.
@@ShineeD Thank you 😀
Thx for sharing 👍
Omg you give me confidence ❤🥰👏🥰🙏🏼🥰👏👏🥰🥰
New Subscriber here 😀 thank you so much for sharing your ideas 😉
Great informational video ! Ive been making macarons for a while now and I still like to see other tips and tricks. Glad I dont need to wait more that 30 mins for mine to form a skin. I cant imagine having to wait 2 hours for that... What climate/ area would that be that some one needs to wait that long ?
Hi, Jami. In humid climates, it takes longer to dry macaron shells. I too won't have patience to wait for 2 hours for sure. But I know nowadays there's no-rest macaron recipe that allows people in humid climate skip this step.
@@ShineeD ohh ok !! That makes sense !! 👍 And I bet that is an especially good recipe for them then!!
I just made your recipe and the only mistake I made was piping them too close lol. I was so excited to try
Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Lourdes! I know next time it'll be even better!!
Hi really liked thsi detailed video. I have a major issue of browing.. Is it fine to just keep the down rod on and not the top.. and is it ok to keep temp lower then 150. Pls help looking forward for your tips
I’m excited to try this because you explain and show extremely well. Question: my oven has bake and convection settings, which shall I use?
Either setting works fine. I use regular conventional setting with top and bottom heating.
Beautiful
Hi Shinee! May I ask what brand of food scale are you using. Thank you for all ur wonderful videos and recipes. Very informative ❤️😘
j'aimerais bien faire des macarons et ta recette te m'aider! merci beaucoup!
Amazing!!
Hi Shinee,
Thank you for the video. Could you please tell me if you used a fan or conventional oven? Also, where do I find your recipe please ? Many thanks
I bake my macarons in conventional oven. Here’s recipe: www.sweetandsavorybyshinee.com/french-macarons/
I saw a post that gave a tip on how to separate the eggwhite from the yolk effortless..she just cracked the egg one at a time and just handpicked the yolk and i believe she has point there. There was less eggwhite that went with the uolk as it naturally slipped on her hands. I'll try it next time :)
Definitely worth a try! I'm personally not a fan of that method because I find using the shells help to get the most egg whites. Also make sure to wash your hands super well, as hands can hold onto grease and any fat/grease is not good for making a meringue.
@@ShineeD it's a given that hands should really be clean. Actually, i tried it just now with my brazo de mercedes and i spent less time just by handpicking it. With that egg shell method, there's still that chance for the yolk to crack and poke on the yolk.
Hi Shinee, thanks for sharing all the tips and I finally baked some beautiful macarons after so many unsuccessful attempts. My shells are still a bit lopsided and I guess it might be due to resting the shells for too long. I noticed that when the skin is first formed, it is not sticky but still soft to touch. Should I wait until it doesn’t dent when I gently touch it? Or should I send them to the oven once the non-sticky skin is formed (though still soft)?
Hi, Katelyn. So happy you had macaron success!!! I'd bake them as soon as they don't stick to the finger.
Hi Shinee, I just baked a batch using the cream cheese filling u shared. When I peel off my macarons from the tray after cooling, it sticks slightly to the tray which I have to be careful to slowly remove it. Is this underbaked? I've made sure that the macarons barely wiggles after baking.
And after maturing overnight, I realise the shell isn't crispy like eggshell, what could be the problem? Thank you
Over my attempts I've never achieved the crispy eggshell-liked macaron shell...😭
Every recipe is so different I’ve been using Bake Toujours recipe and it calls for a higher ratio of egg whites which helps for that crispy crunchy outside. It’s actually the first recipe I tried that I didn’t have to rest them and it actually worked I live in humid Florida too so that’s a plus. Im here trying to find a solution to my macarons not getting high feet they are short but other thank that perfect smooth and full. That recipe uses egg white powder instead of salt and cream of tartar
Hi there! If your macarons are completely cooled, and still sticks to the parchment paper, then they're slightly underbaked. Depending on the filling (mostly on it's moisture level), it's normal for macarons to soften all the way. I feel like the crispness is not quite there, but I see the texture. I'm not sure if that makes sense. If your macaron shells never develop that crisp egg-shell like shell, I'd recommend check whether your almond flour is on oily side, or macarons are underbaked.
Hello, I’m glad I found your channel. I tried making macaron and didn’t come out well. Hoping to stick to your method and tricks. But can you please let me know how much sugar you used?
You can find the full recipe here: www.sweetandsavorybyshinee.com/french-macarons/
Nice video. Just a thought try using a food processor on the dry ingredients before sifting. Works a lot better. 😉
Thanks for your comment. I personally don't recommend using a food processor as it could potentially release oil from the almond flour. I understand a lot of the recipes have you do that, but I feel like it's just an increased risk for problems. With fine almond flour, sifting isn't really a hurdle for me.
Love this video
Hi Shinee the recipe looks amazing! but I can’t find the sugar amount for the French meringue can you help me?
Found them never mind thanks for the recipe!
Where do you find it? I can't find the amount of sugar 🥲
I followed exactly your recipe and my macarons turned out beautiful today. However, when I added light color such as lemon yellow I noticed the feet and bottom were a little brown. I baked at 300 degree F for 15 minutes. Should I reduce the heat or move the tray to the upper rack or keep the tray in the middle rack with empty trays on top and bottom?
Tried so many recipes and really hit or miss. Watched your Complete Guide and Real Time Macronage videos as I made your recipe. They are excellent ! So far so good. I am letting them sit and will bake. Will comment again after I finish. Where can I find your template? I subscribed and am following you on Pinterest.
Thank you.
Hi, Barbara. So glad you found my videos helpful! Hope your macarons turned out good. Have you signed up via this link: mailchi.mp/1f10752bf02b/macaron-bakers ?
If you signed up through a generic sign-up on my website, it doesn't send macarons templates, as it's my general readers list, not macaron bakers' list.
Thank you for this video please I need to know how many grams of sugar do you use for the meringue . I do macaron but every body told me that is sooo sweet
Thank you !!!
thanks so much for the this video! my macarons turned out on the first try somehow lol, but the feet were a little small. do you know what I did wrong?
Yay, congrats on your macaron success! As for small feet, I don't think you did anything wrong per se. And it's hard to pin point an exact reason, because so many things could affect it. I'd suggest couple of things next time:
1. dry the shells a bit longer before baking.
2. increase the oven temp slightly.
@@ShineeD okay, thanks so much and thank you again for an awesome recipe!!
Can you mix seeds from a vanilla bean into the flour and sugar mixture?
Hi there! I’m exited to try your recipe and method since it’s been all beautiful looking shells with the current recipe I have but hollow on the inside and way too sweet. However, do you know if this works at high altitude? I have recently moved to high altitude and area and have had to really learn how to adjust my baking.
Thank you!
Hi, there! I personally haven't tried this recipe at high altitude, but I do remember receiving feedback from couple of people that it worked at high altitude with no adjustments. Hope you will too. Let me know!
I am a rebel, a diabetic rebel that is. I am trying to make all my favorite desserts sugar free and as close to keto as possible. I was able to make a successful Italian buttercream using allulose and almond flour is low carb/keto friendly so I think this should work? If allulose is too runny I will try Xylitol or isomalt. Wish me luck
Wow, that sounds interesting. Keep us posted how they turn out!
hello.. just found our channel... you mention on your web page that you use confectioners sugar with cornflour... not pure icing sugar (australia) is that correct? AND you dont use a food processor to get really fine almond meal and sugar mix????
They look fantastic! Thank you very much for your recipe and great tips.
I have one question... You've mentioned colouring the macaroons... What about flavouring them? I happened to watch a show on TV a while ago, where the pastry chef used fruit flavours. Unfortunately I never got to see where the fruit was added. They had flavours such as passion fruit, berries, caramel, etc. and the macaroons had coordinating colours. Would the fruit flavouring have gone into the filling. In this case, would you add artificial flavouring in the macaroons?
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out! So flavoring the macaron shells are very limited. You can only add a little bit of extracts, powders and different nuts. But the most flavor comes from the filling that's why maturing the filled macaron for 24-48 hours is a must. The flavor from the filling seeps into the shells and flavors them. Hope this answers your question.
If you would like to use almond extract, at which point would you do so?
Hi. Thanks for the recipe. I will try it but I didn’t see how much sugar you add after cream of tartar and salt. Would you please let me know how much exactly should I add sugar?thanks
Hi Shinee, i really want to to try your recipe, but can i divide it into half and use my hand mixer?? Thank you very much..😍
So this recipe is already pretty small, but you can give it a try.
Question. When I do this at my parent’s house, I get an adequate macaron batter, but when I try it at my own place, the batter is always way too thick. Even using the same recipe. I macronage for about 20-30 minutes and it’s still coming out really thick and I can’t do figure 8’s. Is there a reason for that? Again, I don’t have this problem at my parent’s house. Could it be a humidity thing?
Hi there! Yes, sure. It depends on the climate, humidity, ingredients you're using. Humidity plays a huge role. You may increase your egg whites by 2g and see if that helps with thick batter issue.
