How to Make French Macarons

[colakei]

joanna chang not "change"

[Justiceofmyheart]

How much butter did she use for Vanilla Buttercream?

[AneyLeos2007]

Mine dont look pretty, but they sure do taste good!

[AneyLeos2007]

Yea my batter came out too runny, any help?

[robrosy]

She's a great teacher but I really must say her macaron shells look REALLY bad. I make macarons myself and do find it finicky but I definitely wouldn't show the ones that look like those on youtube!

[GingerSnowSpice]

@xMUSICxQUEEN Learn your french language.

[GingerSnowSpice]

For all the ignorant people here, that is how you pronounce a macaron. She pronounced it correctly. And it doesn't matter if her macarons are not colorful, that is her preference. Now you rude and ignorant people go make some of your own macarons and let's see how far you'll get! Not even a fraction of what she has done.

[shadowshock14]

haha macaraaaa

[xpinkHOLIC]

@thlman no she didnt age the cookies. you shpuld ideally leave them in the fridge for 24 hours before eating But i Think she just ate it for tutorial sake.

[logical23legend]

oohh la la.in her mind("i fuked up tooo crunchy, play it off oh ba ba")

[narutocube1357]

ouh la la means oops doesnt it?

[shoppinggirl125]

Her last name is Chang, not Change.

[Courtneylandify]

To get a finer almond meal put it in a food processor with the icing sugar and then through a sieve. Also to make sure there is no peak on the macaron work the batter a little more until it flattens itself out.

P.s dont cook them as long as she did, wayyyyy over-cooked!

[IzzySparks396]

damnnn very critical people up there ^^ o.0

[mothereblyn]

[unknown123456789ish]

Mine still have too many air pockets! Someone tell me why?

[AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhg]

@unknown123456789ish

lol i <3 ur name

before you bake them, poke the air bubbles with a toothpick

[ellen10sea]

@AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhg that will be ugly then :(

[AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhg]

@ellen10sea

oh yea PROVE IT

jk

no it wont

I' ve done it

[unknown123456789ish]

@AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhg Thanks! XD I'll try that.

[bindia555]

Oh that's perfect.

[unknown123456789ish]

My skins are not smooth at all! They look spongy, and I have no feet. :( Why???

[ellen10sea]

@unknown123456789ish maybe u didn't follow a step right.

[maplefur4ever]

But i saw 4eggs

[mothereblyn]

@maplefur4ever She said 3 eggs and 1 eggyolk.

[maplefur4ever]

So perfect

[SupSupSweden]

OLALA.

[mochigasuki]

very nice, but do you really need that much sugar?

[mothereblyn]

@mochigasuki Yes, macarons are typically sweet. This is why the French only eat 1 or 2 of them with coffee. They usually don't eat 5 or 10 :)

[PLazz257]

So much sugar?

[TheJuicysaturday]

do i have to let the egg whites sit for a day?

[Moizaen]

LOL 10:44

[thedollhouse192]

Great tutorial !

[starshower121]

The oven is dirty

[mshmm]

I LOVE your tutorial, but my macaroons cracked in the oven!!! where did I go wrong?! P.s. is was my first macaroon attempt.

[warpman315]

ils sont pas de vrais macarons :|

ils sont trops durs...

[MeganKDrake]

TIPS: Use less dry ingredients for slightly runnier batter (macarons will turn out flatter; easier to eat). Leave to "dry" for 30 - 60 min (rather than 20). Bake trays separately (top shelf is best) to avoid inconsistent oven temperature when opening door to switch levels. After filling macarons, place into airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hrs to allow biscuit to nicely soften. If you can handle the extra wait, macarons are best served after sitting out of fridge for 30 mins!

[MrMacaroonMan]

jesus what kind of a patisserie did you work in? over baked. they sure were "cookies" once you'd finished with them

[TeAngel87]

Thank you for this recipe I loved it.

[marcinhaUK]

Nice..thanx for sharing it

[trangsududo]

Some people are so rude. Stop complaining or criticizing! Just watch the video.

[KarrotKola232]

7-3/8 oz. (1-3/4 cups plus 2 Tbs.) confectioners’ sugar

4-3/8 oz. (1-1/4 cups plus 2 Tbs.) almond flour

4 large egg whites, at room temperature

1/4 cup granulated sugar

your welcome :)

[deanna1953]

@omar390z shut up at least she s sharing:-P

[chocomei1992]

Very professional. Thank you.

[UniqueBoutique99]

wow 10:44 sounded like she was eating a beetle . thumbs up if so :D

[UniqueBoutique99]

ya how many egg whites did you even use. wow in the oven they'le (poof) seriously? thumbs up if im write and thumbs down this is not a good video

[UniqueBoutique99]

thumbs up if she's talking to much

[paulinabours]

how many egg whites did you used?

[MileyFan4Ever1000]

@paulinabours 4 large egg whites.Its on the site. I didnt know it too till i looked it up :)

[thlman]

Also, you didn't mix the batter enough. It's way too thick.

[thlman]

You over-baked them. They shouldn't be that crunchy. It should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

[Sajtosphil]

@thlman they are home made macarons...they do not have to be perfect.....

[HikariYami]

This makes me hungry lol

[smyth15]

Best macaron tutorial!

[shinypikachurulez]

i saw one inpokemon so i wanted to know what it looked like

[petitdecherries]

THANKS :D LOVE this tutorial!

[lookjustin]

Joanne... you are awesome! Thanks!

[KarrotKola232]

how many egg whites do you use?

[jlmaylan]

Thanks, It was a successful baking of macarons, it's encouraging, as I was rather worried cos my friend told me not to make it, "It's impossible to home bake macarons". I like your recipe, crunchy!

[girlio86]

I don't think they are supposed to be that crunchy.

[pluckernil]

That's a crunchy macaron.

[plantaisia]

i like the way she pronounces macarons

[misskawaiisland]

You should color your batter and icing for a really cool macaron!

[fantasticme1995]

wow

[Cruisinjoel]

try making macarons Adriano Zumbo way his macarons look x100 times better than your macarons!

[misskriskitchen]

Thank you. This is a great tutorial...clear and makes we want to bake macarons now. I've looked through several tutorials and this is the best I've seen.

[ashyv]

These are really dreadful though - that's what comes from thinking that it's easy to make a macaron. Her batter was too stiff, and it looked like her almonds were too coarse. I'm sure they taste good, but this isn't a helpful tutorial if you want to make macarons correctly.

[MyMedina]

Not good looking macarons..but I am sure tasty..

[kate2000000]

...olala?

[TheBieberblast21]

Ewww.. her oven is DIRTY!!

[Susi111550]

@TheBieberblast21 is ok, she teach good! i like her

[ItsHaylieW]

uploaded on my birthday.. it was meant to be :D

[IlovelouisDTV]

those macarons are ugly :S



[lalo93s]

can you make a tutorial of all the fillings !!

[ultimel]

"It's much easier to get accurate measurements by weighing the sugar and almonds, rather than measuring by volume."

So why not give us the weight instead of the volume? (>_>)

[ellen10sea]

i like how u said oh lala at the end.

[VanillaCloud]

She needs to wash that oven...

[bbrendss]

the oven, counter and kitchen aid are dirty?...

[xMUSICxQUEEN]

hahaha her accent is so weird lOL french macaraw is easy to make hahaha

[iRJoanne]

0:10 HAHHAHA!! " french macroraaww" XD

[batocs101]

instead of almond flour can we use all purpose flour???

[Beecozz7]

Finally!!! A Macaroon demonstration that I can hear and isn't stupid!!!

Very well done and easy to understand!!!

Thank you so much!

[NANCYYBO0]

How many egg whites did you use??

[cosmenherst]

@NANCYYBO0 at 0:58 she says "one day old egg whites" :) and then she uses the yolk from that egg for the lemon curd.

[RubenViz]

she eats like a COW

[sammysclay]

My macarons tasted good, but then I couldn't pipe it, it was too droopy, I will try to do it again though,

[afq90]

=.=" love ur video !! tq......:)

[asdfghjklove5]

is it okay to have all purpose flour as a substitute?

[kawaiiloco]

@asdfghjklove5 from what the other youtube vids that ive seen i dont think your rally supposed too idk why but you could try google or you can try all purpose :)

[my0303995]

why does my macarons sink?:(

[lisaking22]

I think that batter looked much too stiff when she piped it! and she only left them to harden for 20 mins (is she in a desert?) That, along with the grainy almond flour she mentioned, could have contributed to them turning out so lumpy... Helpful video nonetheless!

[BubbleGumDexter23]

Wouldve looked better if they were bright colors :)

[77eelin]

Her macs are one of the ugliest I've seen.

[sammysclay]

does icing sugar work? i cant find confectioners

sugar!

[MintandMinnie]

@sammysclay confectioners sugar is the same as icing sugar

[07azmaria]

@sammysclay icing sugar and confectioner's sugar is the same

[sammysclay]

Wow! That's a lot of eggs!

[NONGGOYJAA]

are they suppose to be that crunchy??

[radiotherapy52]

@NONGGOYJAA

if you store them in the fridge, they soften after a day :)

[ellen10sea]

@NONGGOYJAA yup.

[Ashleyloves2NE1]

@NONGGOYJAA  i think they are

[MrMacaroonMan]

@Ashleyloves2NE1 no. they are not

[VixSuTRAN]

@NONGGOYJAA Yes, slightly

[8771100]

i think i will just go get it at the shop...:)

[TheLorraineCee]

LOL 10:44

[1125maryrose]

[moedeco]

@kataang518 youbastards

[josephc100279]

May I please get the full recipe of this macaron? Thnx

[pkspam89]

=( I tried it today and didn't work, they didn't grow and tastes loads like sugar so I dunno if I did something wrong or what could've gone wrong, could you help me?? Thank you and loved how you did them causing me jealousy =(

[sharonnnchu]

@pkspam89 same for me too. ):

[jumedinab]

How many egg whites do you used?

[Evangielle]

U ROCK~!!! =D

[WushuSinned]

@foreverCJOE

to make the meringue you use granulated sugar

[KOMIENSIMMIE]

i wanted to make it, but it looks to complicated....

[misschristina11]

can I add food colouring to the mixture for the macaron? 

[lcrazyjeff]

@misschristina11 ofcourse, food color doesnt cause any chemical reaction

[sxcymike83]

Mines came out perfect...thanx

[MonicaLee1995]

fail on baking it too much. But it looks good!

[ctkt21]

is it possible to mix the ingredients by hand instead of a blender?

[derekbegins]

@ctkt21 yeah u can. but it would take hours to whisk up egg whites. =/

[722bella]

when she bite it, sounds overcooked..

[derekbegins]

@722bella yup.. its definitely overcooked.. the outside should be crispy but the inside ahould be moist and soft.

[ellen10sea]

@722bella dude it's crunchy because that's how it's suppost to be.

[vhhho]

what baking size trays do you have in the video?

[mahtay2000]

can you convert the measurements to metric?

And how come you put in icing sugar and not hot syrup like the French do? Is there any difference? because obviously if not yours is an easier way!

[SayHelloBanananana]

@mahtay2000 Using the sugar syrup is actually the italian method of french macarons. This is the traditional french method.

[d10230]

how many egg whites do i need!!!!???? some one plz answer!!

[supersammy625]

@d10230 one day old egg white

[ilikethewok]

So delicious!! Thx Joanne.

[coolfashiongirl20]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS

I think this is the only french macaroons video that is actually good, and amazing

[HyouriChan]

They have to be smooth on top.

[dida079]

They looked so delicious :)

[zodiacza]

my chef in paris thought me to make the lemon curd over boiling water like making hollandaise sauce.

[NoirKittie]

She's a natural on camera. So charismatic ^_^

[UltimateGrobanite]

What's the point of switching the pans around in the oven?

[ToraNekochan]

@UltimateGrobanite I would think because the bottom rack is closer to the bottom oven coil and same with the top rack to the top coil; to give it even cooking time on both sides of the macarons. That's my theory but I'm not sure, I'm also curious about the pan switch.

[HLuna52180]

Absolutely yummy looking!! Gotta give them a go. :D
