Ingredients You Need to Make Swiss Macarons
Making macarons can be tricky, but with the right ingredients, you can make perfect macarons every time. Here is what you’ll need for Swiss macarons:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring, if desired
- Filling of your choice
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Perfect Swiss Macarons
Making perfect Swiss macarons doesn’t have to be intimidating. With this step-by-step guide, you’ll be able to make delicious and beautiful macarons in no time.
- Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a bowl and hand mixer), whisk the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add in the cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium-high. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and beat until the meringue becomes stiff and glossy. Add in the vanilla extract and food coloring, if desired.
- Add the almond flour mixture to the meringue and fold together until the batter falls off the spatula in a thick ribbon. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the batter onto the parchment paper in 1-inch circles, leaving about 1-inch of space between each macaron. Gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Let the macarons sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow them to form a “skin”. This will help them cook evenly.
- Bake the macarons for 18-20 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool completely before filling.
- To fill the macarons, pipe a small amount of filling onto one macaron, then sandwich it with a second macaron. Repeat with the remaining macarons.
And that’s it! Enjoy your delicious homemade Swiss macarons.
