Macaron Masterclass - How to Make Perfect Macarons | Cupcake Jemma

[@jms18uga]

I made this for friends, and they have DEMANDED that I make them again today. I wrote out the recipe so I don't have to keep playing the video over and over while I'm baking. Here you go: French Macarons based on the Cupcake Jemma Masterclass 205g powdered sugar 190g almond flour 144g egg whites, split in two portions of 72g Food color paste (optional) 190g sugar 60ml water Thermometer Food Scale Plastic wrap Parchment Paper 1. Put powdered sugar and almond flour into a food processor and blitz 16 times using short pulses. Sift into a medium-large bowl. 2. Add 72g of egg whites to sugar-almond mix. Mix fairly vigorously. Add food color paste at this point. Cover with plastic wrap. 3. Cooking over med-high heat in a small saucepan, heat sugar and water. Once it’s 110-degrees C/230-degrees F, start whipping 72g of egg whites in the standing mixer. Pull the sugar syrup off the heat once it reaches 118 degrees C/244-degrees F and add it to the egg whites, pouring the syrup down the side of the bowl. Beat until the meringue is glossy and forms soft, floppy peaks. 4. Take one spoonful of meringue and add it to the sugar-almond batter. Mix a bit vigorously to loosen up the batter. Gently fold in the rest of the meringue and continue to fold until the batter, when poured off the spatula, folds into ribbons that don’t melt into the rest of the batter. 5. Prepare a piping bag with a round tip. Prepare two cookie sheets with templates and parchment paper. Pipe macaron shells onto parchment paper, flicking the tip to avoid getting peaks. Once you’re done with all the shells, bang the cookie sheet pans to allow all the air in the cookies to come out. Use a toothpick to fix any craters. Pull the templates from the cookie sheets. 6. Let macaron shells sit on the counter until a skin forms. Preheat oven to 165-degrees C/330-degrees F. Cook for 12 minutes. Take macarons off the cookie sheet and allow them to cool before filling. 7. Fill with ganache, buttercream or curd.

[@katiewilson9317]

Is there a way to measure out 72 or 144g of egg whites without a weight? I only have measuring cups :( HELP??

[@squidsbizarreadventure]

Katie Wilson it's not a precise measurement but 70 grams is about 2 egg whites. Macarons are quite finicky so maybe invest in a scale if you want to make them often.

[@macciebuilds]

Thank you so much for your comment

[@haliarskaphoto]

thanks for your comment, I`ve tried like 12 tutorials and recipes and I`ve never been happy :D so I will try this, it`s great that someone did them couple times and it went great :)

[@itsjustaboutme4]

Do you bake them on convection oven or regular bake?

[@ericaroberts3919]

I transcribed the steps for myself but figured someone else might want them too! *Note: Observations that were not explicitly stated by Jemma and Dane are in [brackets] Instructions : Pour icing sugar and ground almonds into a food processor [at the same time-ish to mix them a bit as you pour.] Pulse the food processor about 16 times with each time taking about 30 seconds. Over-mixing will release oils from the almonds. Sift into a bowl [that is wider than the sieve to avoid spilling]. Discard the remaining bits. Do not push them through the sieve as they could blemish the surfaces of the cookies. Pour 72 g of the egg whites into the icing sugar and almonds [With a spatula] Mix this into a paste, somewhat vigorously. Over-working it could release oils from almonds Before that is completely mixed, add gel food coloring [with a toothpick] and then finish mixing the paste. Color will pale with addition of meringue. Cover with cling film to keep it from drying out and set aside Start the Italian meringue: Pour caster sugar and water into a saucepan Heat sugar syrup to 110 deg C [don’t need to stir, just wait]. (eventually, you’ll heat them up to 118 deg C. Heating to over 118 deg C will ruin the chewy texture of the macarons) When syrup is 110 deg C, pour the remaining 72g of egg whites into a stand mixer bowl with the whisk attached. Start mixing. [Stand mixer speed setting appears to be 7?] [Meringue has soft peaks]. When sugar syrup has reached 118 deg C, gently pour it down the side of the stand mixer bowl, avoiding the whisk Leave the meringue to mix until it gets back to room temperature. (In video, meringue whipped for 5-6 more minutes). Meringue should be glossy and flop over on the whisk when it’s removed (6:20 minutes in shows correct meringue consistency). Remove cling film from almond-icing sugar paste and dole a spatula-full of the meringue into it. [Looks like ⅓ to ½ of the meringue] and fold/mix it in. You can be quite vigorous in mixing. Add the rest of the meringue and fold it in, scraping around the edges of the bowl and then through the middle. Check the batter by lifting the spatula and letting it ribbon off. (If it forms a “v’ shape it’s not quite ready yet.) When it IS ready: Leave it a couple seconds after ribboning into the bowl. If ribbons are not completely melted into the surface of the batter in the bowl, it’s ready! (7:40 min into video shows correct batter consistency). Prepare a [large] piping bag with a round nozzle that’s about 1 cm in diameter. [Fold the bag down quite a bit to avoid a mess and try to pour the batter into the center of the bag, not the sides. Keep the nozzle pointed up a bit to avoid batter running out] Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper. You can print templates to place underneath. Ensure that there’s about an inch between each circle Pipe the batter: Hold the piping bag vertically over the center of the circle (on the template), piping only enough batter to fill the circle. Gently flick to finish each circle to avoid peaks [Dane flicks away from himself]. Get rid of air bubbles by tapping the trays on the table [tap 7 times]. Poke any remaining air bubbles with a toothpick, wiggling the toothpick until the surfaces are smooth again. Add sprinkles now if you want them Allow them to sit for 30-50 minutes while a skin forms on their tops. The 50 minute end of that range is suggested for hot, humid climates. Dryer and cooler conditions require less time for the skin to form (30 or so minutes). [After waiting the 30-50 minutes, pick a sacrificial cookie to check by gently touching to see if the skin has formed and the cookie feels dry] Bake at 165 deg C for 12 minutes. [Cookie trays placed on 2 middle rack positions in oven] Check that they’re done: Gently touch a cookie. If the top comes away from the bottom, they need 1-2 more minutes. Slide the parchment paper off of the baking sheet and leave them to cool (took 15-20 minutes) (Make a Swiss or French buttercream (not American buttercream) for filling. -Or a ganache) Put filling into a piping bag fitted with ~1 cm diameter nozzle and flip over half of the cookies. Pipe enough filling so that it fills to the edge of the cookie. The blob is about 3 mm smaller radially than the cookie and about twice as tall. Close up those sandwiches Leave them in the fridge for 1-2 days for best shell texture

😑 Buy a scale, amateurs! If you want consistent results, you measure consistently amd not with "uh I guess that's a rounded cup". Scales are like $20 and up and you'll never go through a dozen sad ruined macarons by measuring incorrectly. I was also sick of washing dumb nesting cup and spoon sets after baking frequently. You can weigh in any container.

[@THEOZZYFUL]

Thankyou Marina. I can never understand why people would bother with the inconsistent cup mearuring when you can just use a scale. Kitchen scales are cheap and precise and much easier than those ridiculous cup measurements.

[@drc_1990]

These are incredible! I’ve made French meringue macarons maybe a half dozen times using different recipes. They’ve always been good and people have really enjoyed them, but they’re so finicky and I’ve never been impressed with the consistency - always either too gooey on the inside or too crunchy on the outside. I followed this recipe exactly and am so impressed with the result. I’ll only make these Italian meringue macarons from now on! Thank you!!!

[@fia2960]

If your a home cook - I recommend not bothering with the food processor - generally sifting is just enough unless you have very chunky almond meal. Also, when beating the egg whites - go a little bit further then peaks - otherwise it gets very liquidity.

[@suzannekan]

Sofia Poy thanks! I didn’t use a food processor and just sifted like you suggested. Everything came out perfect except it came out a little hollow. Do you have any idea why it would turn out like that?

[@fia2960]

@@suzannekan There's a few reasons why macarons can become hollow. The first reason is that they might have been over-whipped. This can lead to the macaron deflating a bit while baking - leaving a hollow inside The second reason could be because of the temperature. I suggest maybe next time turning up the oven's temperature by a few degrees - but baking for a little less time.

Fia Poy thank you!! 3rd time I made it it came out full. I nearly cried.

[@jamiemae3193]

Flour can have drastically different weights (depending in if it's sifted, scooped with a spoon, or scooped with the measuring cup its self). 120 g is a cup of all purpose flour. However people can get 90-130 g (potentially more) with measuring cups. I would recommend just getting a scale. If you don't want to you can Google conversations.

[@kingab6865]

I made them for the first time today. I've watched countless tutorials, read about them, and decided to go with your way of making them. They can be intimidating. So the first tray had few cracked shells but I quickly resolved that with my second tray. I have a crappy oven that has uneven temps and overbakes at some spots. So with my second tray, I positioned it differently and not a single shell was cracked. They are absolutely perfect. I'm not going to bother with any other tutorials, this recipe and technique is a keeper. It's straight forward. If you follow exactly you'll have success. Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial. It's fantastic.

did you use ground almonds and are they the same thing as almond flour because i can’t find ground almonds without the skin in it anywhere?

Nalini Kumar I used fine almond flour . The almonds were blanched so without the skin but I think it’s okay to use one with skin , it’s just less pretty . Also , you can buy almonds, blanch them, dry them and grind them to make your own flour . Where are you from ? I’m in CA, USA . I have no problem finding almond flour here . Good luck .

Using a silpat mat is best. I find my macarons don't stick at all with a silpat. If they're sticking, they might be slightly undercooked, or that you didn't wait long enough for them to cool first. They should actually just fall right off the mat/paper if they're perfectly baked. :)

The French Meringue method is considerably easier. 20 mins at 300 degrees is the best bake time for most people.

If u can't get your hands on one u can shock ur macarons off the paper by brushing cold water onto your work surface and placing ur paper with the macarons on top.

Amazing recipe! Made this twice already in the past 2 days. This is a good base recipe for many flavors; made one in pandan flavor, and another in Thai Milk Tea flavor by slightly adjusting the recipes and using white chocolate ganache of the different flavors; came out perfect! However, this recipe makes a ton of macarons! I made 1/4 of the recipe which made 20-24 macarons (i.e. 40-48 individual cookies). Tips on piping: I did not print out a template as a guide. Instead, prior to transferring the batter to a piping bag, I used a 3cm round cookie cutter and just dipped the tip in the batter and used it as a "stamp" to make round impressions on my baking mat.

Finally got to try this recipe after getting my hands on a kitchen thermometer. It’s definitely a can’t fail recipe which shells coming out beautifully. Everyone messaged me about how i managed to get such beautiful shells and feet. Not me, it’s this recipe. Tried to make macarons the french way because i didn’t have a kitchen therm and it was just disastrous. I was so scared of over whipping the meringue that i under whipped it. With this recipe, i didn’t even have to use my brains that much, just let the recipe do it’s job. I live in Singapore where the humidity is sky high, all year round really, so my shells were not drying out even after 1.5hrs. So i heat up my oven on the lowest temperature, turn it off and putting all the shells into the oven to dry. Definitely did the trick.

Just wanted to say this is a pretty good video tutorial on the italian method. It's sometimes hard to describe all the steps correctly and you two did great! Dane is awesome!

[@CupcakeJemma]

+Starforsaken101 thanks so much! X

[@kordovaia]

Dane is a great teacher! Never done macarons before and they came out great at my first try 😍 thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 😘

[@Dezlarsen]

Made this today! It is so so good! My first try and they were perfect! I was so impressed. Thanks Jemma and Dane!

[@selani101]

Baking queen on the planet earth. I tried this recipe ,it worked well. I have tried so many recipes of yours and all worked well and at the same time super delicious. You and your team are the best. Wishing you a very successful future. Stay safe. Love you

[@LeeBlackman5]

Can tell this was one of Dane’s first videos. And I love the leading questions to make him feel comfortable ❤❤❤

[@Mariale110322]

I tried this recipe after sooo many fail macarons and this really worked out for me!! They taste delicious and are easy to do. However I used a Rational oven and I baked mine at 275F for 12 min with medium fan and came out perfect 😊

[@benharrison8604]

Omg Dane you need your own channel NOW!!!!!

[@nehemiahmarcus8671]

Yes! He needs his own channel!

[@habeedoll]

Dane was just soooo poised! Love it! Haha AND I love how he devoured the entiiiiire macaron in one bite! Hahaha xo

[@user-xk7vs5pq7x]

Poised.. I’ve heard that name before *cOrY KeNshIn vibes intensify*

[@NWRsk]

I can confirm this’s the perfect recipe for macarons. It’s my first time baking macarons and they all turn out so good! No crack, beautiful straight feet. Thumps up to Dane and Jemma!❤️☺️

[@Marie-cp4yf]

I like Dane...very simple and no pretentions...what a delight to have him around...

[@SoffyChannel]

HOW COME EVERY EMPLOYEE IS SO THIN AND NORMAL AT YOUR SHOP??I'd be a freaking rhino if I got to work there between all the pastries!

[@fordyce8685]

lol

[@niccigericke1234]

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@xtapaaa]

because they get tired of seeing the same party everytime lol

[@valedro]

Probably because they are so sick of the pastries by now that they rarely eat them themselves?

[@LA2047]

Same reason people who handle millions in cash a day don't think about it: it just becomes part of the job. You see it so often you don't want to eat everything; it just become "the job."

[@HowTasty]

Dan is a perfect pastry man! Very good work!

[@doorsopen1544]

Destustinggggggg !!!

[@deeprince8856]

I love him!!!! 😍 such a calm soul.

[@stellawong913]

I failed two times before! I am so glad that today I followed Dane's recipe, and I was so excited to see the feet of the macaron rising in the oven and they turned out perfect !. Thanks to Dane, you get a super big LIKE from me!

[@ahalihaivigneshwaran8346]

stellawong913 👍🏼👍🏼

[@TheALVIshow]

This is one of the best, if not the best of the best, recipe for macarons!! I just tried it and they came out absolutely perfect exactly how macarons are supposed to be!! I am so thrilled because I've tried making them in the past, (with different recipes) and not only I had to throw them out but I also got discouraged. Thank you so much for this recipe and the wonderful video that shows everything step by step!! ❤️❤️

[@bettyspaghetti9175]

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always loved Gemma’s tattoos!

[@connieebinger6343]

Yes, Dane, thank you for showing us how to do it perfectly!

[@matildaaa____1778]

Made macarons for litterally the first time ever. I'm only 12 but with this recipe I made the most perfect macarons! thanks so much for sharing! x

[@alinab7385]

Thanks for the recepie guys! I tried macarons 2 times before and it was a massive failure. I tried your recepie thinking" If it doesn't work I will give up on trying to bake macarons and just buy them", however it turned up that your recepie actually worked and was quite succesfull. My partner an I ate them all 😄 I can't wait to try it again.

[@Aeonessa]

My husband does all the cooking in our house, but won't bake. I never cook or bake, but I really wanted to make macarons. As a novice I followed your directions exactly and both my first and second batches came out beautifully... (Second batch was more visually appealing as I had to learn how to make a circle again 😂) Thank you for sharing!

[@sreejanighosh3399]

Dane's favorite sentence is "not quite yet" 😂

[@harithaguthikonda1653]

😂😂

[@samw4744]

This is my first macaron success. Thanks so much for making this recipe!

[@fiorefer379]

Thank you! In Costa Rica it takes almost an hour and a half to get it dry, that's because of the humidity. It takes a lot of patience and sometimes the feet don't come nicely while are in the oven, tooo bad!

[@안나-r8i]

Fiore Fer Hi, just a little question. Where do you get the almond powder in Costa Rica? I've been searching for it but I couldn't find a place that sells them...

[@katsaludar5391]

I turn on the aircon whenever I make macarons. I just wait for 20 mins. I live in the Philippines, the humidity is crazy here! The airconditioning is a great help :D

[@fiorefer379]

ᄀ안나 compro almendra entera, la pelo y luego la pongo en el procesador y luego, igual que hizo el muchacho, la vuelvo a procesar pero con el azúcar molido.

[@fiorefer379]

Kat Saludar thank you for the tip, but I don't have AC at home.

[@안나-r8i]

Fiore Fer sin tostarla? Yo traté igual pero no logré procesarlas sin que se peguen por el aceite y tampoco se muele tan finamente...

[@yourmathbuddy6541]

Made this recipe yesterday, the macarons turn out prettyy and this is my first time doing macaron. It was a success 😍 thank you jemma and dane. I followed the exact technique as in the video. But i prefer my buttercream filling a bit salty, so i add salt 😊

[@t.s8113]

Omgosh! This is the best video on macarons that I have ever seen (and I've watched a lot). Informative and shows us how its really done. Thank you both for taking the time to explain how its done right. No quickie instructions. I cannot wait to try your method. Fantastic!

[@jessicawilliams3222]

God bless the Italian meringue!!! I have been fumbling over macrons for months!!! Finally a perfect batch! Thanks guys

[@nisaleerasara]

Amazing instructions Dane! Loved watching you with Jemma in the kitchen :)

[@ITSLIZZ111]

TIP: if you dont have a friend, use a cup to hold the piping bag in while you fill it with the batter!

[@leezab1569]

I just finished baking macarons using this recipe... and this works 👍🏼.. this is my second time trying macarons , after my first attempt failed miserably using French meringue method by another famous KZbinr ... Jemma this recipe is pure gold ! Thanks so much 😊😊.. this gives me confidence to try making macarons for my little ones birthday.. God bless you both ❤️.. love from 🇮🇳

[@Whenwillit]

Leeza B how many macarons does this recipe make?

[@deborahshannon2823]

Just made these macarons and filled them with a whipped, white chocolate and raspberry ganache. They turned out perfectly. Thank you for a great recipe and very thorough instructions!

[@hex5852]

Dane is such a fantastic teacher! This is the first video I've seen from this channel and I love their personalities!

[@ElssiePlum]

Dane trying so hard not to say 'nipple' when talking about avoiding the pointy thing on the top of the macaron 😂

[@kingab9939]

I know,right? That was too funny. What are they? mmmmm... peaks? lol

[@mayatuviera]

this recipe is IT! first-timer here, never made these in my life but mine were amazing😺 follow the instructions to a T and you’ll have the best macarons!

[@Victim2SuJu]

Will have to try! I've always read/made the French merengue and always believed Italian was SO hard because everyone just said so but they've always failed me🤷🏼‍♀️ I've also read recipes that SWEAR "NO MORE THEN [arbitrary number] OF FOLDS" but all these great bakers are smacking that batter around. I'm hopeful!

[@georginaallwood2594]

I made macarons yesterday for the first time, following your recipe and method and I am so impressed with them. Thank you so much! They are slightly over browned as I think I had the oven too hot, but they are delicious and chewy. Your instructions were clear and really easy to follow. X

I just made some macarons and they came out perfectly! Almost every time I tried to make them it was a failure. Thank you for this tutorial... loved it!

[@lucydiaz2308]

jessica orengo how many egg white do you need for te Italian merengue???

[@masha7377]

I think I'm in love with Dane. In a platonic friend way. I want to meet up with him and make macarons.

Love this duo and they explain every step and why they are doing it

[@adrianacannizzaro]

Yup never done macarons before and did it with this recipe today and they came out pretty perfect ! Thank you, Jemma and Dane for your tips and tricks!

[@rosannecastronovorobinson5285]

Thank you so much!! These are fool proof if you do exact! Get a scale, digital thermometer, a stand mixer. Perfect every time! Wish. Had a way to save your video. It is on my Pinterest. But I have had things I save go away. Again thank you!

[@dem4623]

save it on ur watch later or create a playlist on youtube

[@piggysister01]

Or not.. I have made perfect macarons using different recipes but I just can’t get these ones to unstick from the paper until they are dry hard biscuits (and with difficulty then). I just don’t know what’s wrong. I so want them to work, as they seem less prone to hollow shell than others 😭

[@pankajpal8850]

Just wow who explain each and every step explained thanku..chef

[@11terr]

Just tried this recipe and it is an awesome recipe. Being my first try on Italian Macarons Some came our hollow and some did not come out hollow. figured this much. The 1 1/2 inch macarons are the ones that came out with no hollows.. anything bigger came out with hollows. Also could it be that my oven is not good . I did notice that the Temperature is not stable. I set it at 325 F and the thermometer reads at 350F. the macarons browned a bit.. so i lower the Temprature and it does not stay at 325F.. think i need a new oven . but so happy some came out without hollows . Also I tried different pans and learned that you need to bake them in Cookie sheets. But Delicious... very good recipe.

[@ruthsalinas9479]

Hello! I just have a couple of questions. Really hope you reply. 1. How many macarons does this recipe make? 2. Please elaborate on what it means to not over mix the almond flour or it’ll release its oils. 3. How do you make different color macarons like in your thumbnail without having to make 3 batches of this recipe? Since you added the food coloring to the paste at the beginning I was left wondering how you’d make different colors like the lovely macarons on your thumbnail for this video.

[@tanakaseri]

Finally someone saying it doesn’t have to be stiff peak!! Every single recipe say it has to be very hard and stiff, making straight peak but it will cause it to have over-mixed batter. This recipe is nice.

[@rcjm21]

I was in love with jemma,then came dane...

[@juwayriaasvat5669]

Did anyone actually wait one to two days?? These macarons are so delicious, I definitely can't wait🤯

[@sonrisa8775]

“Not quite yet” omggggg that burned my soul ! 😂

[@nubianicholas1361]

I made this recipe twice already and same GREAT result. Thank you for sharing Dane.

[@senagurdogan6781]

When I baked them in 165°, the top of my macarons cracked but when I decreased the temperature to 145° every thing was just amazing 👌🏻😋 They are crunchy on the outside but chewy and soft in the inside. That was what I had been looking for 🎊
