Macaron Shell | French Method Whites 100g Sugar 90g *About 1/8 tsp of cream of tartar, mixed into the sugar if you want to add it Almond Powder 130g Powdered Sugar 130g Black, Teal and Purple food coloring (or whatever colors you choose) -- Sift the powdered sugar and almond powder together. You can mix them in a food processor first to get an extra fine mixture, though it is not absolutely necessary. —Slowly add the sugar (and cream of tartar, if using) to the egg whites and whip to stiff peaks. If you are adding in one colorant, gel or powder, I recommend adding it in after you have added the sugar and before you have reached a stiff peak—about at 70% of the way done. —Fold the dry ingredients into the meringue in several additions. To split one batch of macaron batter into two or more colors, just after mixing all the ingredients together, split the batter into separate bowls. Add in your colorant, and then continue folding and scraping the batter against the sides of the bowl to finish the macaronage process on each bowl. The standard macaron recipe calls for a “ribbon” stage, where it will look like the batter flows like a ribbon off your spatula when you lift it from the bowl. —Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a circle piping tip (803-806 are the usual sizes most bakers prefer for this). Pipe onto a prepared baking tray--I prefer to pipe my macarons onto a silpat. Tap the trays to release any air bubbles and smooth the tops of the shells. — For a galaxy swirl shell, I like to lay down plastic wrap on my counter, and place the macaron batter in rows on the plastic before rolling it up and placing the plastic roll into my prepared piping bag. Depending on how you lay down your macaron batter, you can change the look of your swirl! —After piping the macarons, rest for 15-40 minutes depending on your location/humidity and bake (my convection oven likes one tray —placed in the middle of the oven— at 300F for 16 minutes--18 minutes). Cool and match before filling. I like AmeriColor gel food coloring and The Sugar Art powdered food coloring for making macarons! https://www.americolorcorp.com/produc... https://www.thesugarart.com/ **If you don't use or understand grams, please use an online measurement conversion tool! Personally I think that recipes should be measured the way they are created, and I prefer the precise nature of using gram measurement** Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time!
