Thank you so much for this video! I believe it’s the meringue technique that worked for me. I’ve tried countless times to make these and they looked beautiful, but hollow. This is the first time they looked beautiful and full! The upside down pan didn’t work in my oven, they came out lopsided and domed, but they came out just perfect with the pan sitting the right way :) thank you!

Thank you so much for taking time to explain the process of making macarons. I tried it for the first time today with my five 9-yr-old students and we were successful. I was worried because the oven was a convection oven so I told them we might fail (which is ok; since it was our first try). I’m so glad we didn’t. Thanks again! P.S. I think the cream of tartar makes a difference. That extra insurance gave me some confidence. And I also followed the steady number 2 setting for the mixer. We actually used a handheld mixer because my kitchenAid would be too heavy to bring to our school.

I have tried literally 4-5 video recipes (probably all ones everyone else has) and failed every single time, literally for.a week straight! THIS ONE WORKS!! This was the first video that helped me get a hard top with small feet. My macaron's feet are still lopsided but I think it was due to my piping skills. I also cut this recipe in half just incase it wasn't going to work out because life. The only thing I noticed that I had to up my speed to get firmer peaks on the meringue. I have a KitchenAid hand mixer and went from a level 3 to 4 (medium to medium high). Any lower and it stayed soft peaks. The macronage is really what got me. Really follow her on getting that texture and how it very slightly melts back into the batter after the "8" figure.I really think this is what gave me success. I also didn't need to rest them as long, which has been a challenge for me. They skinned up in about 5-10 mins.I ended up piping baby shells at about 1" diameter and took them out at 8-9 mins at 300 F. Super cute and I'm finally happy and can sleep easy. Thank you Shinee!!

Hi Shinee, thanks for sharing all the tips and I finally baked some beautiful macarons after so many unsuccessful attempts. My shells are still a bit lopsided and I guess it might be due to resting the shells for too long. I noticed that when the skin is first formed, it is not sticky but still soft to touch. Should I wait until it doesn’t dent when I gently touch it? Or should I send them to the oven once the non-sticky skin is formed (though still soft)?

Thanks for your comment. I personally don't recommend using a food processor as it could potentially release oil from the almond flour. I understand a lot of the recipes have you do that, but I feel like it's just an increased risk for problems. With fine almond flour, sifting isn't really a hurdle for me.

I saw a post that gave a tip on how to separate the eggwhite from the yolk effortless..she just cracked the egg one at a time and just handpicked the yolk and i believe she has point there. There was less eggwhite that went with the uolk as it naturally slipped on her hands. I'll try it next time :)

@ShineeD 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely worth a try! I'm personally not a fan of that method because I find using the shells help to get the most egg whites. Also make sure to wash your hands super well, as hands can hold onto grease and any fat/grease is not good for making a meringue.

@@ShineeD it's a given that hands should really be clean. Actually, i tried it just now with my brazo de mercedes and i spent less time just by handpicking it. With that egg shell method, there's still that chance for the yolk to crack and poke on the yolk.

@queencleo1151 2 жыл бұрын

They look fantastic! Thank you very much for your recipe and great tips. I have one question... You've mentioned colouring the macaroons... What about flavouring them? I happened to watch a show on TV a while ago, where the pastry chef used fruit flavours. Unfortunately I never got to see where the fruit was added. They had flavours such as passion fruit, berries, caramel, etc. and the macaroons had coordinating colours. Would the fruit flavouring have gone into the filling. In this case, would you add artificial flavouring in the macaroons?

@ShineeD 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out! So flavoring the macaron shells are very limited. You can only add a little bit of extracts, powders and different nuts. But the most flavor comes from the filling that's why maturing the filled macaron for 24-48 hours is a must. The flavor from the filling seeps into the shells and flavors them. Hope this answers your question.

Thank you so much for sharing these infos. In terms of temps, my thermometer reads 300 @ 325 and I find early browning of the macs. What would you suggest I do? Thanks

@ShineeD 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Ruby! How long do you preheat the oven? If you set your oven to 300°F and let it preheat for at least 30 minutes, does it not reach 300°F? I feel like most ovens take at least 30 minutes reach the set temp, even though it beeps that it had reach the set temp. But if your oven just doesn't reach to 300°F after 30minutes, and the macarons are browning too much at 325°F. I suggest to set your oven to 325°F, and then reduce the heat to 300°F once you put the macarons in. Hope this makes sense. By the way, last week I published a video on how to adjust your oven setting and about baking part of making macarons. You may find it helpful as well.

@@ShineeD hi. Thanks for your feedback. I preheated the usual beeping time. It seemed like my oven is off by 25 degrees. When I raised it to 350, it went up to 325. I think it was too hot tho. Then the feet spread outwards a lot and it was over baked and hard within the baking time suggested.. it was a total fail! Ha ha ...We do learn from our mistakes. Too bad, I even liked the colour Fusha.

@ShineeD 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Zenia! What do you mean your meringue stick to the mat? Do you mean you macaron shells? You may need to bake the shells longer. Have you checked your oven temp with an oven thermometer? If not, definitely check it and make sure your oven actually reaches 300°F.

I have been using your recipe every time I make macarons and can’t believe how beautiful they turn out! Smooth tops, full shells and perfect ruffled feet BUT the last couple times I made them, they looked perfect but they were so crunchy and crumbled. Even after maturing in the fridge overnight with Swiss buttercream they still stayed hard and crumbled when you bite into them 🤦‍♀️ Did I over or under mix, left them out to form a skin too long or possibly over baked them? They didn’t slip when I checked them, nor did they get brown around the edges. This is driving me crazy and would love some tips and/or input on what to do to fix them! Thank you in advance ❤️

@ShineeD 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Lisa! That sounds strange, because I'm assuming you're baking the macarons in the same oven at the same temp setting and for the same amount of time as you've before with perfect result, right? I don't think over- or under-mixing batter and drying for too long could cause crunchy macarons. Over-baking is the main culprit for hard, crunchy macaron shells. To fix, you can either mature them longer, like 48 hours with buttercream filling, or swipe a little bit of milk on the bottom of each shell before filling them. Hope this helps.

@92TampaChick813 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely sounds like over baking or high temperatures in the oven. I would get an oven thermometer and gauge it by that and not the oven beep I’ve seen many different ovens range up to 50 degrees different than the setting it was put on.

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and method. Your meringue worked fantastically for me. I keep running into the same issue during the macaronage process.. I fold around the bowl in the same technique that you have and before I can get to ~20 folds the batter turns into cement and is unmixable. Does anyone else have this issue? Could you please shed some light on what I might be doing wrong! Many thanks, JM

Hi, Jade. That might happen due to improper measurement of ingredients (ratio is off) and/or too oily almond flour.

I followed exactly your recipe and my macarons turned out beautiful today. However, when I added light color such as lemon yellow I noticed the feet and bottom were a little brown. I baked at 300 degree F for 15 minutes. Should I reduce the heat or move the tray to the upper rack or keep the tray in the middle rack with empty trays on top and bottom?

Hi, I’ve just made your macaron recipe for the second time and turned out great again. Thank you. I haven’t filled the shells as yet. How long will they last infilled as I don’t need them till Wednesday (5days). Should I keep them in the fridge till then or will they be ok out in a cupboard (in an airtight container of course)😊

Hi, they'll be fine on the counter/cupboard for up to a week. You can also refrigerate them too, but not necessary.

Hi Shinee! I know this might sound silly but can I bake my macarons with the template paper underneath the parchment paper in the oven? or do I need to remove the template paper after piping on the parchment paper so the paper doesn't burn in the oven?

@ShineeD 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, there. So it depends... I've never done that before, but I don't see why you couldn't if it's just a paper. However, if you have 2 papers taped together with a tape (that's what I do with my custom template), I wouldn't, because the tape might melt and make a mess. Hope this helps.

Yes, if you reduce the sugar, they won't turn out. Their role isn't just for sweetening, they play crucial part for texture. Also, my recipe is actually reduced sugar version and has way less sugar than most recipes.

I'd suggest couple of things next time: 1. dry the shells a bit longer before baking. 2. increase the oven temp slightly.
