Macaron

  1. Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar
    • 140g Almond Flour
    • 130g Powdered Sugar
  2. Whisk egg whites in stand mixer on medium until they begin to foam, then add the cream of tartar
    • 100g Egg Whites
    • 0.8g Cream of Tartar
  3. Slowly add the granulated sugar in small portions until fully dissolved while continuing to whisk egg whites
    • 90g Granulated Sugar
  4. Add vanilla and gel food coloring if desired
    • 1.5tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
  5. Continue whisking until very stiff peaks have formed
  6. Remove bowl from stand mixer, and add 1/3 of the dry ingredients. Fold in gently until incorporated, and repeat with the other 2 thirds. Once all ingredients are fully incorporated, continue gently folding and pressing against the side of the bowl until the large bubbles are gone. You should be able to make a figure eight by drizzling the batter without it breaking.
  7. Fill piping bag with a medium round tip, and pipe dollops onto a lined baking sheet in roughly 1 inch dots.
  8. Tap baking sheet onto counter to settle and pop air bubbles. Preheat oven to 300F. Let sit on counter for roughly 40 minutes or until you can lightly brush the tops without leaving an impression.
  9. Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through.
