Macaron-Macaron

This week, my wife and I had a little island getaway. This is the reason why I stayed away from you for 2 days :) We visited a lot of places and took a lot of photos. I'll be sharing our Big Island adventure soon.

You might say, where did this macaron come from? Today, I was a guest in one of Chef's Istanbul's well-known Macaron courses. We got great information on how to make the legendary macaron in a cheerful environment and applied it.

Macaron is a type of cookie, very similar to macaroon but softer. It can be made in different colors and sizes by adding sour cherry, blackberry, orange and lemon flavors. Gel food coloring is used for coloring.

It is very important to stick to the weight and recipe in making macarons. Sometimes, even if you do everything exactly, the result can be disappointing.

Now let's come to the Tips of Making Macaron,

1- All materials must be at room temperature.
2- A sugar degree must be used.
3- The consistency of the meringue (egg white) should be firm enough to be cut with a spoon.
4- While preparing the meringue, it should always be whisked in the same direction.
5- While making macarons, the room temperature should not change, there should not be a breeze in the kitchen, otherwise the macarons will crack.
6- The equipment you use while making meringue and cookies must be dry.
7- No matter how dominant the color is, fresh fruit should not be used for the filling.
8- Ivory couverture should be used for colored creams.
9- When the water and sugar mixture reaches 115 degrees, egg whites should be started to be whisked, and when it reaches 118 degrees, add the meringue, which is like snow.

Many thanks to Yağız Şef and dear Emine for this beautiful day :) Those who are curious about the photos can take a look at the album below the recipe. Love…

Cookie Ingredients:

125 g powdered sugar
125 g ground almonds
120 gr granulated sugar
50 grams of water
80 g egg white

How to Make Macaron-Macaroni Recipe?

1- Blend the powdered sugar and powdered almonds in a blender until they are well mixed. (If you want to make it colorful, add some food coloring after this process is finished)
2- Boil granulated sugar and water in a coffee pot until it reaches 118 degrees.
3- In another plastic and dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become like snow.
4- Pour the syrup, which has reached 118 degrees, into the egg white that has risen slowly (7-8 times).
5- With the help of a spatula, beat the egg whites that you have fed the syrup into the powdered almonds and powdered sugar mixture. (Divide the egg white into 2 and eat).
6- Put the macaron dough you prepared in a cream bag. Using the flat tip, squeeze 2-3 cm intervals onto the greaseproof paper lined tray.
7- Bake in a preheated oven at 120 degrees for 29 minutes. Leave the cooked macarons to cool on the tray.

Cream ingredients:

100 g dark or ivory couverture chocolate
200 g cream

How to Make Macaron-Macaroni Recipe?

1- Take the cream into the sauce pan. Heat until it reaches boiling point.
2- Take the cream that comes to the boiling point from the stove and add the chopped chocolate.
3- Mix until you get a smooth chocolate sauce and let it rest for 30 minutes by taking it to the refrigerator to thicken.

Combining the macaron:

1- Separate the cookies you have prepared from the greaseproof paper with the help of a spatula and match them.
2- Put the cooled and thickened cream in a cream bag. Squeeze the cream into the middle of the cookie as in the photo.
3- Gently press the other cookie on the cream and spread it in circular motions.
