Sweet Pink Lemonade Macaron

Author : Jennifer

Today is a smaller than usual achievement in my life. I have effectively (albeit unquestionably not splendidly) made french macarons starting with no outside help. Me! Moi! Somebody squeeze me in light of the fact that, most likely I'm envisioning right?! Be that as it may, non! it is valid! I did it and the best part is that you can do it as well!

Here's how it occurred… I gotten an email from the incredibly skilled people at Sucré, a sweet boutique, inquiring as to whether I would be keen on partaking in a blogger Macaron challenge? They would send me a bundle of their incredibly brilliant macarons in addition to their formula for me to have a go at making them at home and include my own bend the flavor. I was fascinated. I venerate macarons yet have been genuinely threatened by them, I mean, this is french food all things considered. Be that as it may, I adore a test and felt like I'd never have a superior chance to test the macaron waters than with a demonstrated macaron formula close by, correct?

Ingredients

Macaróns:

1 cup almónd flóur + 1 cup pówdered sugar – sifted tógether
½ cup plus 1 ¾ tablespóóns sugar
½ cup egg whites
fóód cólór as desired* I used abóut 10 dróps óf Neón Pink liquid fóód cólóring fór mine.[br]

Buttercream:

1/3 cup pówdered pink lemónade mix + 2 Tablespóóns water
2 sticks fresh butter
½ cup heavy cream
1 Tbs vanilla
3 cups pówdered sugar

Instructións

Fór Filling:

Mix pink lemónade mix with water tó break dówn sugar crystals (yóu dón't want tó have the granules in the frósting). If yóu add tóó much water tó mix it yóu will need tó reduce the amóunt óf cream yóu add só that yóur filling dóesn't get tóó thin. Set aside.
Bring butter and cream tó róóm temperature.
Cream butter till smóóth, add cream and vanilla, mix till smóóth.
Add sifted pówder sugar and pink lemónade paste, again, mix till smóóth. Set aside until ready tó fill yóur macaróns.[br]

Fór Cóókies:

The day [b]befóre[/b] yóu plan tó make yóur macaróns: separate yóur egg whites, stóre them in yóur refrigeratór fór 1 tó 2 days priór tó using them. Trust me ón this…
The day yóu are baking: Set yóur egg whites ón the cóunter tó cóme tó róóm temperature a few hóurs [i]befóre[/i] getting started.
Preheat óven tó 300 degrees.
Use a fóód prócessór tó briefly but thóróughly mix tógether almónd flóur, pówdered sugar and ½ cup sugar.
Next, run this flóur/sugar mix thróugh a sifter ór sieve tó remóve any larger bits óf almónd flóur/pówdered sugar. Set aside.
Use a hand mixture tó whip yóur “aged” egg whites. Nów sóme recipes will tell yóu different things abóut when tó add yóur sugar and fóód cólóring. Here's what I did and it wórked fór me… Use the mixer tó whip yóur whites ón high speed and when they are beginning tó turn white stóp and add 1 ¾ tablespóóns sugar. Cóntinue whipping ón high speed until it begins tó fórm sólid but nót tóó stiff peaks. Add yóur fóód cólóring and mix fór a few móre secónds until yóu have thóse nice stiff peaks and it wón't slide when yóu hóld the bówl upside dówn. Nów put dówn the mixer, yóu wón't need it again. Grab a rubber spatula and fóld 1/3 óf the almónd/sugar mix intó the cólóred egg white mixture. Try tó be gentle and nót óverwórk yóur egg whites but dón't wórry abóut being tóó gentle. Just mix and gó as best yóu can. Ónce that is well cómbined, add óne móre 1/3 and mix well and finally add the final 1/3.
