How to make delicious French macarons at home

For preparing macarons, you will need 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 3 egg whites, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and food color.

For the filling, you will need 1 cup of unsalted butter, 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of cream.

To prepare macarons, add some almond flour, powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt in a mixer bowl or food processor. Then, process this mixture at low rotational speed until it turns extra fine.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat the egg whites. Add to it 1 tablespoon of salt, granulated sugar, some food color and vanilla extract. Mix everything thoroughly using a blender.

Next, add about one-third of the almond flour mixture into the egg white mixture. Mix well until the desired consistency is achieved.

Then, fill a pastry bag with this batter and spread equal amounts of the mixture on a baking sheet. Try to form small dot-like shapes.

Bake in an oven at 170°C for around 10 minutes.

Once the macarons are baked, leave them to cool down for a while.

To prepare butter cream, take 2 cups of butter in a bowl, and add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and cream to the mixture. Beat and mix until desired consistency is achieved.

Once the cream is prepared, spread some of it on a macaron, closing it with another like a sandwich.

Enjoy!
