OLD-FASHIONED CHEWY MACAROONS



OLD-FASHIONED CHEWY MACAROONS image

Categories     Cookies     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 15 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces canned almond paste, cut into 1/2inch pieces
3/4cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling before baking
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons pastry flour
2 large egg whites
pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat your ovens to 375oF. 2.In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the almond paste and half the granulated sugar on low speed for about 3 or 4 minutes, until the almond paste is reduced to fine crumbs. Add the remaining 3/8 cup sugar, the confectioners' sugar, the cake flour, and the salt and continue to beat another 2-3 minutes. 3. Whisk the egg whites slightly to make them break up, then with the mixer still on low speed, beat in about a quarter of them. As soon as the first quantity of egg white is absorbed, add more, and continue until all the egg white has been added and the macaroon paste is smooth and sticking to the bottom of the bowl. But the second it reaches that state, turn off the mixer. If beaten for too long, the macaroons will puff and sink in the oven. 4. Because the macaroon paste is firm and difficult to pipe, only put a little at a time into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tube (Ateco #806). Pipe out 1-inch spheres onto the prepared pans and continue to add macaroon paste to the bag until all the cookies have been piped. 5. Fold a clean flat-weave kitchen towel the long way into a strip about 2 inches wide. Fill a small bowl with water. Wet the cloth and wring it out only slightly, so that some water is still dripping. Hold one end of the strip in each hand and drop the wet cloth onto the piped macaroons to flatten and moisten them. Repeat until all the macaroons have been moistened. 6. Sprinkle the moistened surfaces with granulated sugar and bake them immediately. 7. Bake the macaroons for about 12 minutes, or until they are golden and firm on the outside, but still soft within. 8. Cool the macaroons on the pans on racks. 9. Store the macaroons between sheets of parchment paper in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.

OLD-FASHIONED MACAROONS

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield Approximately 20 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cup almond paste
2 cups sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
4 to 5 large egg whites
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the almond paste and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the almond paste is softened and the sugar well-incorporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the egg whites a little bit at a time, incorporating fully after each addition. Egg whites are difficult to pour in small amounts, so hold a rubber spatula against the rim of the bowl, and use it to "cut" the egg whites as they are poured. If you add the egg whites all at once, the mixture will be lumpy, because the difference in consistency between the egg whites and the almond paste mixture is too great. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. You may or may not need all of the egg whites depending on the moistness and age of the almond paste. Stop mixing when the mixture reaches a consistency soft enough to pipe (similar to toothpaste).
  • Place the batter in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 1-inch mounds onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. It will be easier if you hold the pastry bag at a slight angle and allow the tip to touch the parchment as you start to pipe. Once you have formed the mound, stop squeezing and lift the tip straight up, leaving a small tail on the top of each mound. Space the macaroons about 1-inch apart to allow for spreading and pipe carefully. The macaroons will look nicest when sandwiched together if they are all the same size.
  • Immediately before placing them in the oven, liberally sprinkle granulated sugar over the macaroons. This will give them a nice crust that will keep the inside moist and chewy. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. The top of each macaroon should be very finely cracked, a characteristic for which they are known. If over-baked, the macaroons will be dry and crunchy.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and immediately pour the water onto the sheet pan under the parchment paper. Be careful! If you get any water on the macaroons, they will be soggy. You will need to tilt the baking sheet to spread the water evenly. Let it sit for 2 minutes. The water will loosen the macaroons from the paper. Remove the macaroons from the paper two at a time and stick them together, matching the flat sides. Do not put them back on the hot, wet baking sheet or they will become soggy.
  • The macaroons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or well wrapped in the freezer for up to one week. Unwrap them before bringing back to room temperature, or the condensation will make them soggy.

COCONUT MACAROONS



Coconut macaroons image

Make these easy coconut macaroons with just a handful of ingredients. These classic bakes are ideal for filling your biscuit tin or enjoying with a cup of tea

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 45m

Yield Makes 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs, whites only
80g caster sugar
150g desiccated coconut
1 tsp vanilla paste
90g dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Whisk together the egg whites and caster sugar in a large bowl for 2-3 mins until light and frothy, and the sugar has dissolved. Add the coconut, a pinch of salt and the vanilla, then stir until combined. Leave to stand for 10 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Scoop teaspoonfuls of the mixture and roll into compact balls, then arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden.
  • Leave on the baking sheet to cool completely. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, or in short 20-second bursts in the microwave. Tip the melted chocolate into a small bowl, then dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the chocolate and wipe off any excess. Arrange on a sheet of baking parchment, chocolate-side up, then put in the fridge for 20 mins, or until set. You can use any remaining melted chocolate to pipe in zigzags over the top, if you like, then leave to set.

Tips:

  • Use aged egg whites: Aging egg whites helps to remove moisture and results in chewier macaroons.
  • Beat the egg whites gradually: Start beating the egg whites at a low speed and gradually increase the speed to high. This will help to incorporate air and create stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Fold in the other ingredients gently: Once the egg whites are beaten, fold in the other ingredients gently to avoid deflating them.
  • Use a piping bag to shape the macaroons: This will help to create uniform shapes and sizes.
  • Bake the macaroons at a low temperature: This will help to prevent them from browning too quickly and will result in a chewy texture.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and achieve the perfect texture.
