Finally .. Macarons!
I've been struggling for 2 times before I could get them .. but finally I'm here to tell you about the joys and sorrows of the Parisian yearned for sweets. During the early defeats
I thought all the eggs were too cold, I had the wrong recipe, which I had not followed the steps, that "ahh, wow, I forgot a pinch of salt and lemon goccino.
Well, this time everything was and how I chose her recipe
A Dejeuner de Soleil, a blogger of exception, the rest is French and translates all in Italian, what can I ask for?
I've followed quite literally, but you carry around here.
Ingredients for macarons :
- 150g ground almonds;
- 150g caster sugar;
- 150g icing sugar;
- 110 g egg white (you should use "
old 'for a few days, that is already separti from the yolk ")
- a pinch of salt;
- goccino a lemon.
Preparation:
First I separate the egg keeping them apart, making them stand at room temperature (unfortunately I have decided on the spot to try the recipe and I was not available to whites "old").
Meanwhile I spent in the coffee mill almond flour (the mixer is too dispersed, and then I opted for something more minutes) so that it becomes very fine at this point I settacciata with icing sugar.
I added a drop of lemon and a pinch of salt to egg whites and I began to assemble at maximum speed until the mixture is glossy looking and compact, so I gradually added the sugar and I started to mount up to hard to make the famous tuft at the tip.
At this point I added the montatatura almond flour and icing sugar, sifting again (for good luck!) And I mixed slowly with a spatula, always from the bottom up, taking care not to leave out residual on the edges and doing everything quietly and decisively, to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Once all mixed, I poured in the pastry bag and I format the floppy disk (also with the bunch!) On my baking sheets covered with parchment paper and I let them rest for an hour.
Finally I cooked them at 160 degrees for 10/11 minutes, in a "breezy" (I advise you to warm up a bit 'the oven first, but the trays of macarons to be cold, so do not reuse the same! ) until you get a nice golden brown.
For the stuffing I personally have used the jam, mainly for time reasons, but if you have to do everything so calmly I suggest you try a ganache as it must, to complete the work ♥
Considerations:
After two attempts I realized what were the main problems.
1. I had read almost everywhere that the trays had to be very cold, so I automatically thought that it should also be the oven.
No!
fact, even today the first batch of my poor macarons came
ponfissima and absolutely anything resembling appearance to normal.
2. absolutely necessary to rest for at least an hour disks, otherwise they can not get the corolla and the surface smooth.
3. The almonds must be very fine because it is the principal author del bordino speciale!
4. Non usate assolutamente coloranti liquidi! Rischiano di smontare il composto e il tutto verrà davvero liquido. L'ideale sarebbe trovare del colorante in polvere o in gel, oppure utilizzare gli alimenti naturali come il cacao o il caffè solubile.
Beh che dirvi..? Seguite la ricetta e fateci sapere!!! Io ho fatto davvero i salti di gioia correndo per la casa e urlando come una pazza XD
Buon divertimento !!! :D
