  • 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

    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!

    Using a glass to sieve out the sugar is such a great idea! And the Macarons look cute :)

  • @disneyduchess889
    @disneyduchess889 5 років тому +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!!🤩🤩

  • @joannjacquin4983
    @joannjacquin4983 6 років тому +5

    I love your style of teaching! Are macarons better if you chill them for 24 hours after putting together so the texture is better? Also....I would love to see a Key Lime version! :)

    • @debraharris879
      @debraharris879 2 роки тому

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

  • @daniellegavin4001
    @daniellegavin4001 6 років тому +1

    You make it look so easy!! I’m going to attempt this and the meringue peeks 😁
    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

Thanks again for all your wonderful and inspiring videos!

    • @GeorgiasCakes

      Thank you! Salted caramel macarons just require some salted caramel being added into the filling - I have a salted caramel video, be sure to check it out! x

    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.

    Great video. What you've actually made are Italian Macarons (based on making an italian meringue base).French macarons (the original, traditional french pastry/biscuit, are made using a french meringue base (ie, using caster sugar & egg whites only, ie no sugar syrup) and macaroons are a completely different biscuit, made from coconut and an eggwhite.

    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

      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!
