Macaron Recipe with Regular/All-Purpose Flour
video is in folder on youtube
Ingredients
  • 110 grams powdered sugar
  • 70 grams all-purpose/regular flour
  • 2 egg whites from large eggs - 65 to 70 grams (12 to 24 room temp)
  • pinch of salt
  • 45 grams sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • If you are making macarons for the first time, I don’t give you a guarantee that you will succeed right away, because they are not easy to make. :)
  • Avoid making your macarons on a particularly humid day.
  • Cool, dry weather is best.
  • Egg whites should be 12 to 24 hours at room temperature.
  • It is better to measure the ingredients using a kitchen scale than from a measuring cup.
  • Be sure to sift flour and powdered sugar.
  • Beat egg whites and sugar with a mixer until you see stiff glossy peaks form. (It took me about 2 minutes, you can beat the egg whites for longer, because it depending on the mixer.)
  • Do not over beat egg whites - overbearing the egg whites will introduce more air and create an airy, hollow cookie.
  • If you under mix the egg whites macarons will not dry.
  • Add the sifted flour and powdered sugar and gently fold the batter until it flows, like lava off the spatula. ( 45 to 50 complete strokes )
  •  
  • Do not over mix or under mix your batter.
  • Over-mixed batter will result in flat discs, unlike light and fluffy cookies.
  • Transfer the batter into a pastry bag with a round tip. (I used #12 plain round tip you can use 1A and 2A too.)
  •  
  • When the batter is under-mixed, the piped macaron shells do not flatten out as much and the tips remain.
  • Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 3 to 5 times, this will get rid of any air bubbles and will prevent from cracks.
  • If needed, use a toothpick to pop air bubbles and smooth out the shells.
  • Let the cookies sit at room temperature until the tops are no longer sticky to the touch, 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the humidity.
  •  
  • Place the tray on the middle shelf and bake at 300°F for 13 to 15 minutes if you have a gas oven, or bake 275°F for 15 minutes in an electric oven.
  •  
  • In the middle of the baking process macarons, you need to open the oven door once to let off steam, and then close it.
  •  
  • They are best eaten after 24 hours since the flavors will be absorbed into the shell. Enjoy :)
