Macaron Masterclass Part 1

[afcwimbledonsuck]

Re. posture, the camera was low down and the cupboard forced crouching. Sorry to you all.

@mdevereyeah: I don't know you, but you seem like a total moron. Do you by any chance make rubbish burgers? However much disdain I have for you, I am at least very flattered/slightly concerned that you set up a youtube channel specifically to watch videos of me.

P.s. no more frango for you.

[mdevereyeah]

Totally agree about the posture. Awful posture. Also, no one from north of the Watford gap has ever made a decent macaron.

everyone else adds half of the dry ingredients to the whip and then the rest. wouldn't that be easier any way?

[MrChannel5news]

Im not tryina say anything bad but you should fix your posture, once again not trying to say anything bad...but its not good for your back, DONT WORRY !! not saying nothing bad here just saying that you should have a straight strong posture....thats all im saying :D A beautiful woman such as yourself should take care of her body, you have a great smile by the way.

Hi Wondering why much of the beaten egg whites are left in the metal bowl & didnt get incorporated into the mix ?

[richterscale09]

"it can be temperamental like French women!" hahahahahahaha.... I love your remarks.

[sheccid187]

Could you possibly put the ingredients & measurements in the description?

I might be daring enough to try this

[HarrietlovesFood]

@Spoonz1234 PLease see the ingredients and method below, a few comments down. Do give them a try, they're well worth it and not all that difficult as long as you are precise and don't overcook them! Good luck and bon appetit!

[HarrietlovesFood]

@LauhMalfoy What would you like to know?

[HarrietlovesFood]

@LauhMalfoy

ESPECIALLY when we're talking about egg whites, you should always use a metal spoon as it will not crush the mixture as much so as to keep as much air as possible. This refers to egg whites more than anything else.

@HarrietlovesFood Thank you :D

[HarrietlovesFood]

THE ABOVE QUANTITIES MAKE ABOUT 15 MACARONS WHEN SANDWICHED

To fill:

Buttercream - half softened butter to icing sugar, beaten together with any colouring or flavouring you like

Chocolate ganache - dark chocolate melted with butter, then mixed with some double cream

Fruit jam or jelly, dulce de leche, even Nutella!

Tiny scoops of ice cream or sorbet - to serve and eat immediately!

Fresh fruit - anything you like!!

[HarrietlovesFood]

Thank you for your comments! Here's the basic recipe:

120g icing sugar

60g ground almonds

60g egg whites (about 2 egg whites)

40 caster sugar

food colouring

Thanks so much !! :)

[soofunnny]

I freaking LOVE YOU! I cannot wait to try this recipe out! Is there anywhere where I can find a text version of the recipe (mainly the ingredients)?

[HarrietlovesFood]

Yes you can add flavouring to the macaron biscuit mixture, but it must be dry. For this amount, 12g cocoa powder, or some lemon/lime zest, anything as long as it is fairly dry. Use colour for the biscuits and save the flavour for a very intesnely flavoured filling instead.

[bizzylizzy79]

This recipe looks great! I'm going to go try making them now!! Can you add flavouring to the macarons?

[Nweith]

I have to go and buy some ground almond FAST!!

they look awesome!
