  • Hi friends, we are talking about sugar today!
    I frequently get this question: can I add less sugar to macarons?
    And I will explain to you why you can't, and also spill some macaron science knowledge! How sugar works, what does it do, why is it important and why you can't go without it!

    Thank you so much for the detailed explanation on the role of sugar! and also how you compare other recipes out there and see the ratios and how well they work out and such! I do that too sometimes whenever I'm making a new recipe and try to figure out what the best ratio is and whether or not the recipe will work out. Like for example I played around with different Italian meringue recipes and it turns out I prefer the ones that have equal parts granulated sugar to icing sugar to almond flour instead of the granulated sugar being equal to the egg whites. Whenever I made recipes with those amounts, the meringue isn't as thick as it would be had it had more sugar in it.
    So yeah its nice to know that you can't just reduce sugar to make it less sweet. it will also make t less stable as well! So instead we just have to use things that aren't sweet in terms of the filling so that overall macaron isn't too sweet! I've learned a lot from this video so thank you so much for teaching us more about macarons! Maybe someday I'll finally have a good looking macaron with the perfect feet and everything! PS the sugar also affects on how strong our meringue is going to be right? like even when we whip to stiff peaks if there's not a lot of sugar in in it'll still be too light for example?

    Thank you so much for saving me from going down this rabbit hole myself. I tried your swiss version for the first time and most of them turned out well. The ones i trued to make into hearts 💕 i dodnt macronage it enough nor pipe perfect so they were off and didnt really have good feet but the circle ones in other colors i made turned out very nice esp for my first try. Im noe excited to make more. I have 18+11 eggs in my fridge plus 2 bags of almond flour.
    Im sad that i believe you recommend to not make your own almond flour bc of the oil it will produce. Even grinding preground more finely. Some of my almond flours i waste bc of the larger pieces. I need to save those for my almond cakes maybe?

    Thank you for the explanation ❤ You could be a Chemistry teacher.
    A question, All the Mac recipes on your blog are sugar reduced? I have your book, that recipe is reduced too?
    Thank you so much! ❤

    Thank you for sharing! ☺️ Does the sugar ratio affect texture? Ex. more sugar makes a crispier outer shell? I heard from other bakers that less sugar makes a meatier bite but I'm not sure what that means 😅

    I tried my third batch of macaron “dough” with replacing the granulated sugar with a substitute. First time macaron maker. The texture comes out so wrong that the third o e I even didn’t try to bake.

    Every single time I make macarons I feel like ill get diabetes tbh... my family doesnt want me to make them anymore as theyre so sweet for Europeans like me who dont have a ton of sugar unlike others
