If Macarons not work for some, maybe it's more the fact that Macarons per se are more difficult and require particularly good preparation and very careful work. Here is the most important tricks:
- Eggs must be at least 5 days old.
- Separating egg white a few days earlier, store in an air-layers container in the refrigerator
- Protein pick one day in front of the jaws from the refrigerator and leave the room (in the closed container), so there is room warm
- Ingredients very carefully weigh (eg 36 gr protein)
- Almond flour from the health food store to take (finely ground), with instant flour (not lumpy) together seven
- Prepare everything, stand up, weigh -> egg whites do not wait!
- Protein mix with a dash of salt at slow speed until it foams (containers must be completely clean and free of grease)
- Then add fine sugar, slowly stir stiffly at medium speed
Raising flour / almond flour with feeling in 3 stages with a Teigheber among the beaten egg whites and slowly stir everything into a dough -
- In the pastry bag (I place the disposable bag in a stand-up bag of Tchibo, which works perfectly for filling)
- Mat on baking tray
- Now inject the macarons on the mat (do not fill the entire circle, only the dull interior!)
- Allow 15 minutes at room temperature until the dough starts to dry slightly
- Baking sheet with feeling on the table beat (that any air bubbles go out)
- Can now bake 12 minutes in convection oven 160 ° C
- Rausnehmen
If you want colored macaroons -> no liquid food coloring, only powder or paste goes (eg Wilton)
The following basic recipe has worked for me straight away:
45 gr almond flour
75 gr icing sugar
36 gr protein
10 gr of fine sugar
et voila ;-)
