Mastering the Macaron Shell
Macaron shells are notoriously difficult to master. If you have ever tried, you will know that it is a precise science that requires trial and error and adaptation depending on your specific ingredients and baking conditions. What makes a shell hollow, chewy or unable to rise? Learn professional techniques that can guide and boost your knowledge.
- For example, did you know that it’s absolutely essential to sift your almond flour thoroughly? If you skip this essential step, your final product may turn out lumpy and uneven. Using a fine mesh strainer or sifting your dry ingredients several times is sure to increase your chances of success.
- Another important step is releasing air bubbles. Air bubble formation is completely normal but they can also cause the macaron shells to crack, which is far from ideal. We recommend firmly banging your sheet pans on the work surface to release air bubbles. This may seem drastic but you won’t damage your product this way, so go for it!
Perfect Your Macaron Filling
Did you know that it’s best to use room-temperature eggs? This is because they create the best foamy consistency, giving you that lovely light texture you’ve been dreaming of. Another secret to add is cream of tartar as this helps to stabilize the mixture and make your filling that extra bit more sumptuous.
