Macarons (french)


The basic batter and the fillings for these delectable little desserts can be varied endlessly simply by adding different flavorings and colorings; for starters, there's chocolate, coconut, peanut, pistachio, raspberry, and vanilla bean.

Ingredients

  • For The Macarons

    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 3/4 cup almond flour
    • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
    • Pinch of cream of tartar
    • 1/4 cup superfine sugar
  • Suggested Fillings For Macarons

Directions

  1. Pulse confectioners' sugar and almond flour in a food processor until combined. Sift mixture 2 times.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk whites with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and whisk until soft peaks form. Reduce speed to low, then add superfine sugar. Increase speed to high, and whisk until stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes. Sift flour mixture over whites, and fold until mixture is smooth and shiny.
  3. Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain round tip, and pipe 3/4-inch rounds 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets, dragging pastry tip to the side of rounds rather than forming peaks. Tap bottom of each sheet on work surface to release trapped air. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake 1 sheet at a time, rotating halfway through, until macarons are crisp and firm, about 10 minutes. After each batch, increase oven temperature to 375 degrees, heat for 5 minutes, then reduce to 325 degrees.
  4. Let macarons cool on sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. (If macarons stick, spray water underneath parchment on hot sheet. The steam will help release macarons.)
  5. Sandwich 2 same-size macarons with 1 teaspoon filling. Serve immediately, or stack between layers of parchment, wrap in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months.

Cook's Note

Piping the perfect macaroon takes a little practice. Treat it as you would a rosette, bringing the pastry tip to the side of the circle, rather than forming a peak, to finish.

Variations

Chocolate: Substitute 3 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder for 1/4 cup of the almond flour.

The Green Table @ Soremauru





I also書Kitakatta Yomiuri Shimbun's article, so you organize your photos here anywaySoremauru a long time (the French residential area), we went to. Soremauru not intended to go to, I feel back stopped at a flower market to the Express Bus Terminal. Soremauru itself is still "going goal," not a place interesting enough to think of a good stop and then set to go to the flower market, such as Toka South underground shopping mall.







We went was introduced in the previous blog CECI CELA Shop Soremauru a small cute cafe right in front. If you entered stumble across on foot. Since midsummer hill to go more than five minutes walk from the main street of Soremauru does not recommend much, if recommended season now walk the temple. Bus Terminal bus station is not out, if the shuttle bus into the main street of Soremauru (bus circulation areas) will also do so through the 13th ride. The Green Table address: 797-9 Bangbae-Dong, Socho-Gu, Seoulphone: 02-591-2672









Package and saw something, because I was momentarily lost, rather than cafe restaurant (also in our shop "Cafe" characters are not), I asked the shop contained in the "tea on the second floor also You and I "say it to the second floor. I was pretty exhausted walking, 助Karimashita. ^ ^;





Other spaces on the second floor of the main, there are two small rooms.





1 small room here. Since I had no other customers, ♪ I was allowed to shoot around the shop to ask how
