In this video you can see some macarons that look like icing cookies.
For one batch of macarons the ingredients are
100 g almond powder
100 g sugar powder
Mix and sieve then add
38 g egg white
For the Italian meringue
Sugar syrup
25 g water
80 g sugar
Start boiling. When sugar syrup reaches 115 C degree, start whipping 38 g egg white and add half a tablespoon of sugar. When sugar syrup reaches 118 C degree pour it into the egg white while whipping.
Whip it until forms hard meringue ( about 5 minutes)
When meringue is ready, add one third to the mixed almond powder and mix it. Then add the rest of the meringue and do the macaronage.
Then pipe the macaron into desired shapes. I made round, heart, square and oval shapes and a frame shape.
After piping, hit the pan a few times so the air bubbles go out and the macarons spread.
Wait for about 10 minutes and then put the in a preheated oven ( 150 C degree) and bake them for about 15 minutes.
After the macarons cooled you can decorate them.
I used royal icing.
To make royal icing you need
40 g egg white
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 tablespoon vinegar
200 g sugar powder
Lemon juice
First add cornstarch, vinegar and 120 g sugar powder and mix with a hand mixer at a low speed. Then keep adding sugarpowder one tablespoon at a time until it becomes a thick icing.
You can reach the desired consistency by using lemon juice.
Color the icing with edible food coloring.
You can decorate the macarons in many different ways. In this video I used traditional Hungarian embroidery decoration. Kalocsai and Matyó embroidery.
You can fill the macarons with the desired filling but keep in mind that the icing tasted a bit sour due to the lemon juice so something matching with that would be the best.
If you want me to show in details how to make macarons, fillings or icing, please let me know.
I hope you enjoyed watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you for watching it. ❤️
