They are temperamental little things. I have briefly explained the reason why each piece is important below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kitchen scales<\/strong> \u2013 It is important that each ingredient is measured accurately as the balance of ingredients is critical in macarons. If there is too much or too little almond meal or sugar, it can throw the meringue mixture off and ruin a batch before you\u2019ve even started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flat baking tray<\/strong> \u2013 If the surface that you bake on is not totally flat, the macarons will rise at funny angles and may look like they are folded. A flat surface should help with even rising and the classic flat tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet<\/strong> \u2013 These are the ideal surfaces for the macarons to bake on as they won\u2019t stick. They also provide for easy removal at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Piping nozzle<\/strong> \u2013 Ensures you get nice even circles when piping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Template for piping the macarons<\/strong> \u2013 optional but will ensure your macarons are evenly sized if you\u2019re a beginner. You can download and print one I made below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Macaron-Template.pdf\">Macaron Template<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Food processor<\/strong> \u2013 This is an optional step but it helps to get your icing sugar and almond meal as finely ground as possible to create the smoothest macaron tops you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sieve<\/strong> \u2013 Absolutely essential for thoroughly sifting and mixing your almond and icing sugar mixture. You don\u2019t want ANY big lumps left in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spatula<\/strong> \u2013 For mixing the egg whites and the almond mixture together, a spatula is essential for folding correctly (the process is called \u201cmacaronage\u201d &#8211; we\u2019ll come onto that in a bit!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2 big non-plastic bowls<\/strong> \u2013 You want to make sure your bowls are big enough for the egg whites to expand and to have enough room to thoroughly fold the mixture. The reason non-plastic is important is for the egg whites. In order to achieve a good meringue, the egg whites must not come into contact with any sort of fat or oil at all. Plastic has a tendency to absorb a slight residue from previous uses, and so doesn\u2019t really work as a clean dry surface for this particular recipe. Stainless steel is the best, but glass or Pyrex are also fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A freestanding mixer or electric hand mixer<\/strong> \u2013 This is for whisking up the egg whites. The electric mixers have a lot more power than we can introduce by hand, so they are particularly good for beating air into the egg whites. That being said, of course, you CAN do this with a hand whisk but it will take a lot longer and it is hard work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/how-to-french-macarons-a-detailed-guide\/#Top\">Go to top<\/a><br><span id=\"Ingredients\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ingredients listed below are for making plain macaron shells. While a few macaron recipes have flavoring in the shells (such as chocolate macarons that use cocoa powder), plain shells are far more typical, as the flavor normally comes from the filling. This recipe can be used for any flavor of macaron and colored to your heart&#8217;s desire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 Egg whites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100g Ground almonds (almond meal)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>110g Icing sugar (also called powdered sugar or confectioners sugar)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40g Caster sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gel food coloring (optional, but not liquid coloring)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Egg whites<\/strong> \u2013 There are a lot of different methods and opinions about egg whites. Should they be aged? What does aged even mean? Cold? Room temperature? Weighed? So I am sure there are benefits to all of the above things, however, I also want to make things as simple as possible, so I do not age my egg whites and I\u2019ve never had a problem with my macarons. I also don\u2019t weigh them, I just use two medium to large eggs and separate the whites. I do let them come to room temperature so that everything in the mixture is the same temperature. The most important thing is ensuring that there is no trace of egg yolk in the white mixture at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ground Almonds<\/strong> &#8211; You can buy bags of ground-blanched almonds in almost any supermarket. Sometimes it is called an almond meal, sometimes almond flour, and sometimes just ground almonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Icing Sugar<\/strong> \u2013 Also called confectioners sugar or powdered sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caster Sugar<\/strong> \u2013 For adding to the egg whites to make the meringue shiny and lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/how-to-french-macarons-a-detailed-guide\/#Top\">Go to top<\/a><br><span id=\"Process\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Get all of your ingredients measured and all of your equipment set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Put the ground almonds and icing sugar in a food processor and blitz at a high speed for one minute. Scrape the sides of the processor down and blitz for a further minute. It is important to put the ground almonds and icing sugar in the processor together, and not just the ground almonds on their own, as this would make almond butter. After they are processed, sieve thoroughly into one of your big bowls. Put aside.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Powdered-Mixture.jpg\" alt=\"close-up view of a bowl containing a mixture of ground almonds and icing sugar, with a spoon resting inside\" class=\"wp-image-423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Powdered-Mixture.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Powdered-Mixture-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Powdered-Mixture-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>3. Separate the eggs into another glass or stainless steel bowl, ensuring that you have only egg white in the bowl. Start whisking the egg whites either in a freestanding mixer or with an electric hand whisk on medium to high speed. You really want to get the air into the mixture. When they are just frothy, add the first bit of caster sugar. You want to add it in roughly three equal parts, whisking in between to give it some time to combine thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Frothed-Eggs.jpg\" alt=\"top down image of a bowl containing an egg whites\" class=\"wp-image-426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Frothed-Eggs.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Frothed-Eggs-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Frothed-Eggs-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Pouring-in-sugar.jpg\" alt=\"image of a bowl with egg whites, a woman's hand pouring sugar into the bowl, while her other hand is holding a hand mixer\" class=\"wp-image-425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Pouring-in-sugar.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Pouring-in-sugar-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Pouring-in-sugar-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>4. When you have soft peaks (see picture below) it\u2019s time to add whatever color you are using. For the sake of this example, I have used a very pale color, but you can use whatever color you like. Bear in mind that once baked, the macarons will be 1 to 2 shades lighter than the color of the batter when wet, so always add a little more color so that the mixture looks a bit darker than the color you want your final shell to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Adding-Colour.jpg\" alt=\"an image of a bowl filled with a frothy mixture, with a pair of woman's hands gently adding food coloring to the mixture. a mixer rests nearby, positioned beside the bowl\n\" class=\"wp-image-428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Adding-Colour.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Adding-Colour-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Adding-Colour-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Once the color is added, whisk again until you have stiff peaks (see picture below). This means that the mixture will completely hold its own weight. If you lift the whisk out of the mixture, you will be left with a \u201cpeak\u201d that does not move or droop at all. The mixture will also \u201cclump\u201d in the whisk a bit. If you are brave enough to do the over-the-head test, hold the bowl upside down over your head. Nothing should fall out at all. If it does\u2026 well it wasn\u2019t whisked enough and you should probably take a shower\u2026 sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks.jpg\" alt=\"image of a bowl containing stiff peak mixture, with a hand mixer resting nearby\" class=\"wp-image-429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks-2.jpg\" alt=\"top down image of a bowl with stiff peak mixture of an icing\" class=\"wp-image-430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks-2-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Stiff-Peaks-2-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>6. Add all of the egg white mixture to the almond mixture and begin folding. In order to not knock out too much air, I like to take the spatula all the way around the bowl, then cut through the middle and lift the bottom of the mixture up, then repeat. This whole process is called \u201cmacaronage\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Folding-GIF-4.gif\" alt=\"Folding GIF 4\" class=\"wp-image-431\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>7. The batter will take a while to reach the correct consistency but it is important not to rush it. It will go through stages. Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, the overall texture will be quite \u201cfluffy\u201d and a bit lumpy; this is not yet done. If you were to pipe it as it is you would have an undermixed batter which could cause the macarons to crack on top, and the mixture wouldn\u2019t flatten causing uneven tops. The correct consistency is often described as like \u201cflowing lava\u201d. Now I don\u2019t know about you, but I don\u2019t frequent volcano tops that often, so to me, it\u2019s a bit of an ambiguous explanation\u2026 What you are looking for is the batter that is still thick, but runs off the spatula when you lift it up in a ribbon-like way, and when it lands on the batter in the bowl, it should re-absorb back into it within 10-20 seconds. When you are getting close to the consistency, check every couple of folds until you have something that looks like the below:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dripping-Batter-GIF.gif\" alt=\"Dripping Batter GIF\" class=\"wp-image-436\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once you have reached this, don\u2019t mix anymore. It\u2019s done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Get your baking tray with the template underneath the parchment paper ready and on a nice flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tray-with-Template.jpg\" alt=\"top down image of a baking tray with a template \" class=\"wp-image-442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tray-with-Template.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tray-with-Template-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tray-with-Template-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Put your piping nozzle into the piping bag and stand it in something like a cup to give some support as you fill it. Once you have put the mixture in the piping bag, you can start piping your macarons. Hold the piping back with the nozzle above the center of the template circle about 1cm away from the parchment paper. The nozzle and back should be 90 degrees to the baking tray so that when you pipe your circle, the mixture spreads evenly outwards. Apply gentle pressure until your mixture reaches the line on the template, then gently lift the bag away. You will be left with a small peak in the middle of the circle, but if the batter is mixed sufficiently these will sink back into the macaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-1.jpg\" alt=\"a pair of woman's hands delicately piping the macaron mixture into a template on a baking tray\n\" class=\"wp-image-432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-1-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-2.jpg\" alt=\"close up image of a pair of woman's hands delicately piping the macaron mixture into a template on a baking tray\n\" class=\"wp-image-433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-2-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Piping-2-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>9. Give the baking tray a tap on the work surface (I put a tea towel underneath the tray so I don\u2019t break anything and annoy my landlord\u2026), then turn the tray around and do the same again. This will help the little peaks fall into the circles and also bring any large air bubbles to the surface. You can then pop these air bubbles with either a cocktail stick or the tip of a sharp knife. Either way, you want to do this straight away, or the batter will start to dry. After you have tapped the tray, remove the template from underneath the parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tapping.jpg\" alt=\"hands gently tapping a baking tray filled with macaron mixture before baking\n\" class=\"wp-image-434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tapping.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tapping-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Tapping-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Drying.jpg\" alt=\"close-up of a baking tray filled with macaron mixture, arranged on a template for the drying process\" class=\"wp-image-437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Drying.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Drying-164x246.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>10. Now you need to let the macarons dry. This is essential. In order to get the macaron&#8217;s signature shiny tops and frilly \u201cfeet\u201d along the bottom, we have to let them dry. If you put them straight in the oven, they will crack all on the top as they are effectively getting \u201cfeet\u201d up there. You will need to leave them to dry for anywhere between 30 minutes \u2013 2 hours. There is no way to give an exact drying time because they dry at different speeds depending on heat\/humidity\/environment. You will know when they are dry if you gently press your finger on the side of the macaron and there is a skin &#8211; meaning your finger comes off dry and does not stick at all. I like to check them every 30 minutes to judge how they are doing. They will also look a little duller on top than when they were first piped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Dry.jpg\" alt=\"close-up image of a dry macaron mixture arranged neatly within a template on a baking tray\n\" class=\"wp-image-438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Dry.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Dry-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Dry-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>11. Preheat the oven to 302\u2070F (150\u2070C) while the macarons are drying. Once they are dry, place the tray in the middle of the oven and bake for 14 \u2013 16 minutes. When the macarons are done, you should be able to tap one of the shells on top and it will be hard and sound hollow. If the shells have gone brown on top it means the oven temperature was too high, so try lowering it a little next time. As each oven is different, it is difficult to tell exactly what temperature you should set the oven at, but 302\u2070F (150\u2070C) is a good place to start and you will soon learn whether you need it to be warmer or cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12. Take the baking tray out of the oven and put on a cooling rack for 10 minutes to cool down. After this, the shells should easily peel away from the parchment paper in one piece. If you try and take them off while they are still too warm, they can stick to the bottom a bit and come apart.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Baked-1.jpg\" alt=\"a close up image of a freshly baked french macarons\" class=\"wp-image-439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Baked-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Baked-1-164x246.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>13. The only thing left to do is fill the macarons with a filling of your choice! Pretty much anything goes as the shells are a neutral sweet almond flavor, so get creative! Chocolate ganache\u2026 jam\u2026 curds\u2026 buttercream\u2026 the world is your oyster!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/01-Filled.jpg\" alt=\"image showing a top-down view of french macarons, with some macarons filled with chocolate ganache\" class=\"wp-image-441\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/how-to-french-macarons-a-detailed-guide\/#Top\">Go to top<\/a><br><span id=\"Storage\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you should put your filled macarons in an airtight container and leave them in the fridge for 24 hours before eating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is to allow the inside of the macaron shell to absorb some of the moisture from the filling, which creates the classic chewy inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can resist them for 24 hours, it is worth the wait, I promise! After that, the filled macarons will be kept in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply take them out of the freezer a couple of hours before you want to eat them to allow them to come up to room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy baking!

and icing sugar in a food processor and blitz on a high speed for one minute. Scrape the sides of the processor down and blitz for a further minute. It is important to put the ground almonds and icing sugar in the processor together, and not just the ground almonds on their own, as this would make almond butter. After they are processed, sieve thoroughly into one of your big bowls. Put aside.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Separate the eggs into another glass or stainless steel bowl, ensuring that you have only egg white in the bowl. Start whisking the egg whites either in a freestanding mixer or with an electric hand whisk on a medium to high speed. You really want to get the air into the mixture. When they are just frothy, add the first bit of caster sugar. You want to add it in roughly three equal parts, whisking in between to give it some time to combine thoroughly.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">When you have soft peaks it\u2019s time to add whatever color you are using. For the sake of this example I have used a very pale color but you can use whatever color you like. Bear in mind that once baked, the macarons will be 1 to 2 shades lighter than the color of the batter when wet, so always add a little more color so that the mixture looks a bit darker than the color you want your final shell to be.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Once the color is added, whisk again until you have stiff peaks. This means that the mixture will completely hold its own weight. If you lift the whisk out of the mixture, you will be left with a \u201cpeak\u201d that does not move or droop at all. The mixture will also \u201cclump\u201d in the whisk a bit. If you are brave enough to do the over the head test, hold the bowl upside down over your head. Nothing should fall out at all.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Add all of the egg white mixture to the almond mixture and begin folding. In order to not knock out too much air, I like to take the spatula all the way around the bowl, then cut through the middle and lift the bottom of the mixture up, then repeat. This whole process is called \u201cmacaronage\u201d.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-6\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">The batter will take a while to reach the correct consistency but it is important not to rush it. It will go through stages. Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, the overall texture will be quite \u201cfluffy\u201d and a bit lumpy; this is not yet done. If you were to pipe it as it is you would have an undermixed batter which could cause the macarons to crack on top, and the mixture wouldn\u2019t flatten causing uneven tops. The correct consistency is often described as like \u201cflowing lava\u201d. Now I don\u2019t know about you, but I don\u2019t frequent volcano tops that often, so to me, it\u2019s a bit of an ambiguous explanation\u2026 What you are looking for is batter that is still thick, but runs off the spatula when you lift it up in a ribbon like way, and when it lands on the batter in the bowl, it should re-absorb back into it within 10-20 seconds.\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-7\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Get your baking tray with the template underneath the parchment paper ready and on a nice flat surface. Put your piping nozzle into the piping bag and stand it in something like a cup to give some support as you fill it. Once you have put the mixture in the piping bag, you can start piping your macarons. Hold the piping back with the nozzle above the centre of the template circle about 1cm away from the parchment paper. The nozzle and back should be 90 degrees to the baking tray so that when you pipe your circle, the mixture spreads evenly outwards. Apply gentle pressure until your mixture reaches the line on the template, then gently lift the bag away. You will be left with a small peak in the middle of the circle, but if the batter was mixed sufficiently these will sink back into the macaron.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-8\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Give the baking tray a tap on the work surface (put a tea towel underneath the tray so I don\u2019t break anything), then turn the tray around and do the same again. This will help the little peaks fall into the circles and also bring any large air bubbles to the surface. You can then pop these air bubbles with either a cocktail stick or the tip of a sharp knife. Either way, you want to do this straight away, or the batter will start to dry. After you have tapped the tray, remove the template from underneath the parchment paper.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-9\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Now you need to let the macarons dry. This is essential. In order to get the macaron\u2019s signature shiny tops and frilly \u201cfeet\u201d along the bottom, we have to let them dry. If you put them straight in the oven, they will crack all on the top as they are effectively getting \u201cfeet\u201d up there. You will need to leave them to dry for anywhere between 30 minutes \u2013 2 hours. There is no way to give an exact drying time because they dry at different speeds depending on heat\/humidity\/environment. You will know when they are dry if you gently press your finger on the side of the macaron and there is a skin \u2013 meaning your finger comes off dry and does not stick at all. I like to check them every 30 minutes to judge how they are doing. They will also look a little duller on top than when they were first piped.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-10\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Preheat the oven to 302\u2070F (150\u2070C) while the macarons are drying. Once they are dry, place the tray in the middle of the oven and bake for 14 \u2013 16 minutes. When the macarons are done, you should be able to tap one of the shells on top and it will be hard and sound hollow. If the shells have gone brown on top it means the oven temperature was too high, so try lowering it a little next time. As each oven is different, it is difficult to tell exactly what temperature you should set the oven at, but 302\u2070F (150\u2070C) is a good place to start and you will soon learn whether you need it to be warmer or cooler.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-11\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Take the baking tray out of the oven and put on a cooling rack for 10 minutes to cool down. After this the shells should easily peel away from the parchment paper in one piece. If you try and take them off while they are still too warm, they can stick to the bottom a bit and come apart.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-44694-step-0-12\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">The only thing left to do is fill the macarons with a filling of your choice! Pretty much anything goes as the shells are a neutral sweet almond flavour, so get creative!
