French Macaron with Salted Buttercream Icing
My new Obsession... French Macaron with Salted Buttercream Icing I went on a girls trip and had the best cookies i have had in my life...salted caramel macarons. I have been on a quest to duplicate it....so here is my working cook book. 1) I started out with unblanched almond flour and egg white that had not sat for 3 days. They oozed and were gritty... I also used cup measurement 2) 3 day old egg white and salted caramel....macarons came out nice, but the caramel was a bit too sweet to me Here is the video for the delectable macaron shell though:....and I did use a digital scale this though (our postage scale) 3) Turned the caramel previously prepared into Salted caramel buttercream- delicious So far my favorite recipe is.... Macaron Shell: 100 grams ground blanched almonds or almond meal /flour* 180 grams confectioner (powdered or icing) sugar** 100 grams "aged" egg whites, at room temperature*** 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional) 35 grams
