Time 1h33m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 extra-large egg whites
⅓ cup white sugar
1 ⅔ cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup almond flour
1 pinch salt
½ cup butter, softened
⅔ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Add white sugar and continue to beat until peaks are stiff enough they stay in place when the bowl is turned upside down, about 5 minutes.
  • Sift 1 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, almond flour, and salt together twice. Fold into the egg whites until batter is creamy and falls slowly off the lifted spatula, about 50 turns with a spatula. Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Pipe batter onto the parchment paper, using a circular motion to make macarons 1 inch in diameter. Tap the baking sheet against the counter about 10 times to release any air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes. Rotate baking sheet and continue baking until macarons are shiny and rise slightly to form "feet", about 9 minutes more. Peel off the parchment paper and allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat butter, 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until creamy and thick, about 10 minutes. Transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Pipe a small amount of filling onto the center of 1 macaron; top with another macaron and press gently to sandwich the filling between the two.

Time 1h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 egg whites
6 tablespoons superfine (castor) sugar
1 cup finely ground almonds
1 ½ teaspoons finely ground almonds
1 ⅓ cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
  • Whisk egg whites in a clean metal mixing bowl until thick, about 5 minutes; whisk the superfine sugar into the egg whites until thick, glossy, and the mixture holds stiff peaks, 5 to 8 more minutes. Place a sieve over the bowl containing egg whites and sieve both amounts of almond meal and confectioners' sugar into the egg white mixture. Gently fold the almond meal and confectioners' sugar into the egg whites, retaining as much air as possible.
  • Separate the meringue into separate bowls to flavor and color, if desired. Spoon the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a 3/8-inch tip. Pipe 1-inch disks of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  • Let the cookies stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes to form a thin skin. Pick up the baking sheets and let drop from several inches above the work surface to adhere cookies to the baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are dry, about 15 minutes; let cool completely on the baking sheets before peeling off the parchment paper.

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h50m

Yield 30 macarons

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 cup almond flour, finely ground
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3 egg whites, at room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 drops pink gel food coloring
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine. Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form (you should be able to turn the bowl upside down without anything falling out).
  • Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.
  • Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold until combined. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up.
  • Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Place 4 dots of the batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, and place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet.
  • Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper in 1½-inch (3-cm) circles, spacing at least 1-inch (2-cm) apart.
  • Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 5 times to release any air bubbles.
  • Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until dry to the touch.
  • Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
  • Bake the macarons for 17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don't stick to the parchment paper.
  • Transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
  • Make the buttercream: In a large bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Add a dollop of buttercream to one macaron shell. Top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and buttercream.
  • Place in an airtight container for 24 hours to "bloom".
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the almonds and butter. The better the ingredients, the better the macaroons will be.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them whip up more easily.
  • Whip the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. This will give the macaroons their characteristic light and airy texture.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough.
  • Pipe the batter onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will help the macaroons bake evenly.
  • Bake the macaroons at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help them dry out and develop their characteristic chewy texture.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from seeping out.

Conclusion:

Luxemburger macaroons are a delicious and classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little care and attention, you can easily make these macaroons at home. Just follow the tips above and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your baking skills.
