Ingredients
Directions
17 STEPS
1
In a food processor, combine almond flour and confectioners sugar, then grind and sift together.
2
Whip 6 ounces of egg whites in a mixer on medium speed.
3
Meanwhile, cook 1 pound of granulated sugar and 4 ounces of water in a pot until it reaches 118°C (244°F).
4
Slowly add the sugar syrup to the whipped egg whites, and continue whipping until medium to stiff peaks form.
5
In a separate large bowl, combine the sifted flour mixture and the remaining 6 ounces of egg whites. Mix until combined.
6
Fold the meringue into the almond flour mixture.
7
Perform the macaronage technique until the mixture reaches the proper consistency.
8
Pipe the macarons into equal-sized circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
9
Allow the macarons to dry for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until a skin forms and they no longer stick to your finger when touched.
10
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 16 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through.
11
For the French buttercream filling, whip the egg yolks on medium-high speed.
12
In a saucepan, cook 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a little water until it reaches 118°C (244°F).
13
Slowly add the sugar syrup to the whipping egg yolks and whip until the mixture reaches room temperature.
14
Gradually add 2 pounds of unsalted butter to the cooled mixture, and continue whipping until combined.
15
Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and beat until fully incorporated.
16
To assemble, pipe a small amount of the French buttercream onto one macaron shell, and top with another shell to create a sandwich.
17
Store the finished macarons in the refrigerator. The flavor is best after chilling for one day.
