everything you need to know about baking macarons!

👩🏻‍🍳want to know how to achieve perfect “little feet” on ur macarons?

👩🏻‍🍳i recommend…MACARONS (Italian Method)

imo, the Italian method of making macarons is beginner-friendly and will give u a higher change of success!

👩🏻‍🍳i started out making it the French (traditional) way many years ago and it was almost always a guaranteed fail :(

👩🏻‍🍳however, i came across the Italian method which achieves a more stable meringue base which will help with succeeding in making ur first batch of macarons!

👩🏻‍🍳the recipe i personally use and recommend to friends is by The Scran Line

👩🏻‍🍳all of my friends who have used it all succeeded and i have been using it for around 5+ years now!

👩🏻‍🍳Italian macarons start out by whisking egg whites with a melted sugar syrup in order to cook them as the meringue is formed

👩🏻‍🍳pros of using Italian method:👩🏻‍🍳

🤍more stable structure

🤍more rounded

🤍less failed attempts

🤍crispier, crumblier and more powdery macarons

👩🏻‍🍳cons of using Italian method:👩🏻‍🍳

🤍taste a bit sweeter

🤍more complex (melted sugar syrup which cooks the egg whites)

🤍requires a stand mixer to be done successfully

👩🏻‍🍳overall, while it may be slightly more tedious than the French method, it certainly has a higher guarantee of success!

🕊️p.s. i also recommend using Swiss Meringue Buttercream because it’s so much nicer and smoother than it’s easier counterpart, American Buttercream

🕊️i personally use Matt Adlard’s YouTube video which explains the differences between American, Swiss and French 😋

🕊️for one batch of The Scran Line’s macarons , i use half the batch of Matt Adlard’s Swiss meringue buttercream

hope this helps and happy baking! comment down below if u have any questions 🫶🏻
