Macarons are a traditional French dessert that is increasingly popular around the world. They are made in a variety flavors and shades, which makes them ideal for any occasion. If you're looking for a delicious treat that will impress your guests, then the strawberry macaron is a fantastic choice. Learn how to make these tasty treats. The first step in creating strawberry macarons involves to gather the proper ingredients.
You'll need the following ingredients: 1 cup of almond flour, two cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter that is unsalted 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 3 egg whites, 1 cup of powdered sugar, Pink food coloring (optional), and strawberry jam or preserves. Once you have the ingredients, start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and lining two baking sheets using parchment.
In a medium bowl combine your almond flour with powdered sugar till well-mixed. Then , add in the sugar granulated and salt , and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form within the mixture. Then, add any food coloring you want to use, such as pink which is great for strawberry macarons. Fold it into the meringue until combined. Add into the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture a little small at a time until it's fully integrated within the meringue.
The batter needs to be thick , but still able to flow out of your spatula without being too runny or too lumpy. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag equipped with the round tip, or use a spoon in case you aren't equipped with one. Pipe tiny circles onto your baking sheet lined with parchment before lightly tapping it on the countertop to get rid of any air bubbles in the homemade macarons batter. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking for 11-13 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges.
When the baking is done, let it cool completely before adding the filling below. To make this filling you'll need either prepared strawberry jam, or store-bought strawberry preserves . Simply spread the filling on the other side of each macaron shell and sandwich each one with the other so that they are able to stick together. There you go - freshly made strawberry macarons.
Finally adorn each macaron sandwich with half of the sliced fresh strawberry before serving immediately or storing inside an airtight container temperatures of room temperature for up to three days (if they last this lengthy.). Strawberry macarons can be a simple but impressive dessert anyone can make at home. It's all it takes is patience while cooking all the necessary ingredients however once you have them all together, these tasty treats are sure to be gone faster than you could pronounce "macaron."
