      I cooked mine for twenty minutes but they were really brown around the edges and more crunchy. The second time i cut the cooking time a few minutes they were just starting to brown but the texture was much better.

      It says to preheat your oven ... how long shud you pre heat -before outing tray in timing for 20 mins as that affects overall cooking and 20 mins can b too much and they burn - happened to me. Therefore really like to know the pre heat time ? Thanks

      Tell me what wen't wrong. I have succed with another recepe. My guess is that you added the sugar to fast so that the meringue never got to stiff peaks or that your dry ingredients weren't fine enough. A tip is to pulls them in a food processor or blender.

    So I've been attempting to make macrons 4 four times. Your recipe was the 4th time and I'm SO GLAD YOU SHARED, because I almost cried tears when I pulled them out and they were perfect. The feels are real. I almost gave up because the ingredients got expensive and the cookies ending up not being edible/presentable anyways ) : THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Entertaining With Beth

      i did all your steps it was amazing i have made more than 30 pieces of macaroons but the problem was they are too much thin
      the lava was too much rolling on the butter paper should i use a silicon template with round circle in it i wish i can send you some picture to show you how it was after baking it

    I watched several tutorials on making French Macron this was the one I used. My first batch turn out great. While they were baking I turned on the light in the oven and I got so excited my cookies had feet, my husband thought I had lost my mind. I filled them with French butter cream. Friends and Family loved them, I will be making them again, Thank you for the Tips My Tip is you live in the South like I do (Southern Alabama) because of the humidity It's better if you let them stand 45 minutes to an hour before baking.

    Thanks for the tips Beth! One thing I often do is put a piece of paper underneath my baking paper with circles drawn on it. This is able to be seen through the paper, so when you're piping them, you use the circles as a guide and all of your macarons are the same size! Afterwards you just remove the paper and leave them to sit!
    I also often use a hair dryer to speed up the sitting process, as it makes the tops to tacky a lot faster.

    • @carolineheading501
      @carolineheading501 4 роки тому +5

      No macaron recipe is truly foolproof, there are too many variables where things can go wrong. You probably need to try different recipe ratios, make sure your meringue is the right consistency before mixing with your almond mix, check your macaronage technique (the folding part), then check your oven. All four of those can be just a little off and your macarons will fail, ask me how I know! I highly recommend reading and trying this recipe: notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/2010/04/macarons-101-french-meringue.html . Good luck, they're worth it!

      As an experienced macarons baker she should know better but she chose to mislead people? Hmm...and some morons said: mine turn out perfectly by using her recipe? OMG...liars are everywhere.

      @jamierosspa 8 років тому +3

      +claudia miller i made this on a rainy day, perhaps i suceeded. You can turn on your oven to 100d celcius and just open it while your on the process of making these macarons. Then let it rest as long as possible, i would say minimum 30mins. When you touch the macarons and if it doesn't stick on your finger they're good to go in the oven. Hope this helps! Don't ever give up, I tried at least 4-5 times before i actually suceeded. 😊

    I have made these several times. For the daughter's engagement party I made close to 200, following her tips and they have always turned out. In addition to her tips, what I also do is that while folding the meringue in I count between 50-60 folds and voila I get the perfect consistency. To make sure the two halves match and they are all pretty much the same size, I create a template of the desired size of macaron on the opposite side that you will pipe them in.

    Hello Beth! I am 14 years old and I attempted to make these cookies. They look impeccable but when I break it in half, it is mostly hollow inside.

      So you’ve watched countless macaron recipe videos to know everyone says “molten lava”, but didn’t bother watching molten lava footage and still found time to complain that you don’t know what molten lava looks like? Interesting.
      Its 3 years later and I hope you’ve found some very rare footage of what molten lava looks like.... I hear that footage is hard to come by........
      I hope you gave the macarons a shot. I took me about 6 tries to finally get the consistency right. Just make the mistakes and learn. Its simple.

    Just made them! On my first try i suceed! :3 thank u so much.
    I do have a question, i used 4 baking sheets (they were too small) i baked two at a time. The two first came out perfect. The other batch came out good, however, they didnt want to come out easy. I let them cool and took them off once they cooled. But on my first batch they came out even if the cookies were hot. What happened?
    Also my buttercream came out horrible, next time ill follow the recipe lol

  • @hann3rs3

    I love this recipe thank you for your help. I am 11 years old and love to bake. The first time i made theses they cracked. The Second time I got them perfect.☺️ that's because of my mixer . But I got a new one. I also need your opinion. I entered in a cookie contest for my church and I have to make 3 dozen cookies. I was wondering do you think I should put these in as one of the cookies . I was also thinking of doing you chocolate chip cookies and e double chocolate cookies. But I really need your opinion on the macaroons. Love your videos 😊

    in the video she says mix up a half stick of butter for the raspberry buttercream but in the description box she wrote a 1/2 CUP, which is actually a whole stick of butter. so do i just stick with a half stick (1/4 cup) like she said in the video, was that a mistake?

    • @russelsmithjackson
      @russelsmithjackson 6 років тому

      Some advice is to REALLY focus on the part that you have to beat the eggs and add the salt + tartar. If you can get the eggs to come out like hers (peeked and fluffy) you should be good. When beating in the sugar and almond powder also be sure to do like she says and not overmix- she says between 60-75 stirs should be good.
      If you follow those steps well they will come out perfect! 😁

    I really don't think these pastries are worth the effort. It takes dozens of attempt to do correctly and it only makes a dozen. For that much work, not to mention the price of almond flour, they should taste great. I'm not even sure they taste good. I feel like they're just a trendy food that people fool themselves into thinking tastes good.

      Food is an art or a hobby to some people, including myself. It's the fun you have and the effort that you put into your work/food that makes it special, Macarons take a bit, yes, but it's so worth it when you see the smile on people's faces when you see them eat your food. But if you stick with that mentality about food, you might as well stick with ramen and grilled cheese, it's cheap, boring, and takes less than 2 minutes to make.

      @charlttenel1182 10 років тому

      You don't have to make them at home to try them. Sucrè and Laudereè (hell if I spelled that right) make _fantastic_ French Macarons that are worth the money. I can say that from personal experience. People love macarons for the same reason they love cake. It's pretty. It's edible. Macarons are especially "pretty" due to the light pastel colors they come in so females love them more than males from what I've seen.
