How to Make French Macaroons

Hello and welcome to Todd's kitchen. A few months ago i made french macarons and i was not happy with how they turned out at the end But i have learn't alot since then so join me as i show you the proper way to make french macaroons To start of with i have a bowl with a sift on top now into that place in our almond meal and our confectionery sugar then sift through completely just to get all the lumps out once done you will have some large bits of almond meal left over don't use them just throw them away as you don't want the larger bits in there Then give it a good mix to combine Next into a mixing bowl pour in three egg whites that i have allowed to adjust to room temperature You can do this with a hand mixer as well but im using a stand mixer So now beat these until they start to fluff up. Once they start to fluff up slowly add in five table spoons of caster sugar or super fine sugar. Then continue to beat until it comes up glossy and soft peaks form. Now that we have done our meringue and it is nice and glossy and thick Then add in one tablespoon of vanilla extract Then fold it through next pour in half the sugar and almond meal mixture just pour it straight in then fold it through once folded through add in the rest of the mix Then once again fold it through For extra colour while folding through the last batch add a couple of drops of red food colouring couple more drops there by mistake but close enough and fold that through so once done it should look like this when it is combined Next on to a tray lined with non stick baking paper using a piping bag we are going to pipe our macarons onto the baking paper once their all on the tray, lift the tray and band it down hard a few times this will help create the legs once you have done that let these sit here for about twenty minutes and in those twenty minutes you should get a slight hard shell form on the outside. so when you touch it it won't stick to your fingers Once they are ready we are going to place them into a pre heated oven at a hundred and eighty degrees celsius for twenty five minutes but half way through turn the whole tray around just so they cook evenly I have taken these out of the oven and let them cool for a good half an hour and look at that look pretty fantastic put together looks just like a macaron So these are going to be nice and crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle so now one final step grab two of the equal size and what I'm going to do now is with some white chocolate that i have just melted in the microwave and with that just pull some right in the centre and get the other one and squish it Put that to the side to cool and continue until they are all done I have just taken them out of the fridge to let the chocolate set and they turned out pretty much perfect much better then the first attempt so im very very happy with these very happy Now to give one a try and see how they turned out nice and crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle that turned out fantastic That simply is delicious Thank you for watching this episode of Todd's kitchen.
