Earl Grey Tea Macarons with Honey Buttercream Filling

[@ThoseRandomCrafters1]

I made these but I was allergic to almonds, I searched the web and no nut-free recipes looked similar to the real thing, so I made my own! I ground up pumpkin seeds until they resembled the consistency of the almond flower and I did the rest how you usually would, THEY WERE DELICIOUS! My friend said that they even tasted better than when made with almond flower! ~~For anyone allergic to almonds~~ ENJOY :)

[@ivannaalpizar8682]

eec smart!

[@ShaniquaAlfonzo]

eec where they raw the pepitas? Or did you toast them first? And then you just put the same amount in there and they worked out fine?

[@almamarques4169]

"Flour "not 🌸

[@alicexhinatarme]

eec that’s actually pretty neat

[@estephanieleos4479]

Coconut flour works too

[@99leadpencils]

Great video. I love that you didn't speed through the steps that much, but at the same time you didn't leave us with boring pauses. I quite enjoyed learning with you. Thank you!

[@meowl_lover]

Finally someone spelled&pronounced macaron right.

[@EvilAmandarz]

I love your explanation on the folding. I've watched plenty of videos and yours gave the best explanation.

[@RoboticAnarchy]

I just made these (first time making macarons) and they came out perfect, feet and all! I replaced the earl grey with two bags of Twinings Blackcurrant Breeze, and added five drops of blue food coloring, and piped them out oblong, so that they turned out looking like little robin’s eggs. Super cute!

[@EugenieKitchen]

Hi, I already watched this video a long time ago and made Earl Grey macarons and they turned out wonderful!! You are the best baking channel. I learn a lot from you. Thanks!

[@DELACREMEDELAthegod]

I can tell simply by the way you use your hands that you cook with a lot of love and passion. Thanks!

[@queenrei34]

Thank you for your tutorial! I'm so glad you took time to show us the folding/mixing of the dry and wet ingredients!that's where I screwed up... the first time I mixed too much and ti was very runny (The egg whites weren't whipped enough either)... and the second time, I didn't mix enough so it turned out more like meringue cookies, instead of macaroons! THANK YOU

[@yoyomax12]

Thank you very much for telling me you enjoyed these, I love to hear success stories :)

[@yoyomax12]

It makes me happy when people succeed at these. I was thrilled to peak in the oven and see the little feet forming on these. I was under the impression they were super hard to make but I was pleasantly surprised :)

[@achanwahn]

This is the first video I've watched they detailed when (& most importantly WHY) one stops blending the ground almond & merengue mixtures. Thank you! ♡

[@steffj]

They look great! Very classy and perfect for a wedding lol...the white with white filling looks amazing. And i love how the tea gives it a bit of texture

[@StarrTrekn]

OMG so nice to hear someone say "macaron" and not "macaroon!" Great recipe! I'm making it tonight! Thank you!

[@Whitechiikk]

These are the best things i've ever tasted. They turned out perfect, i dyed them pink and filled with them a fudge filling instead. I will definitely make these again, thanks so much for the recipe!

[@themonsteroutsidethedoor3449]

I did this recipe twice so far!The second time I added cardamom instead of earl grey and I added cinnamon into the icing!Its amazing!!!

[@yoyomax12]

+Dayton Darabadey I love cardamon, I bet they tasted great. That was a great addition.

i'm trying the tangerine tea for mine.

[@rozyroan385]

hello did you mean to say 7 teaspoons, instead of 7 tablespoons of butter? thanks

[@jingpei7547]

Thank you SO much for actually showing the entire combining process. most people just cut to the liquid batter part. I failed multiple times not knowing if my batter was just too dry or if I was just undermixing!!

[@wolfrunners9633]

So I tried making this recipe and overall, it turned out pretty great! I loved the subtle hint of earl grey, it gave a very warm feeling. I have some notes that I think I should add: • The honey for me was a bit overwhelming, so next time I will only put 2 tbsp of honey instead of 3 (but this is solely personal preference on taste) • I would've loved a bit more early grey flavour (again, solely just personal preference) so next time I'm planning to add a 1 1/2 tea bags of earl grey • When I made the filling, I let it sit in the fridge for about an hour and it was still kinda melting when I filled the macarons, so I decided to leave the macarons with the buttercream filling in the fridge for a few hours and it was really good • I'm not too sure if it was the way I mixed (overmixed or undermixed) the macronage, or maybe it was the oven, but when I baked it at 300ºF for about 12 minutes, the shells were hollow (still a bit soft and crunchy, but very hallow); I'm thinking I may need to bake it less like for 8-10 minutes instead? • You've already mentioned this but there was a lot of buttercream filling left, so I decided to make another batch of macaron shells to finish the filling

[@Jolene8]

The best instructional video on macarons i've seen so far. And with a remarkable outcome. Bravo!

Hands down best recipe because A) yoyomax B) YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DIFFERENTIATED BETWEEN MACAROONS AND MACARON THE GILDED HERALD ANGELS OF THE HEAVENS SCREAM VELOCIRAPTOR SCREECHES IN THIS SUCCESS. PRAISE THE LORD SOMEONE WHO IS NOT UNCULTURED SWINE

[@PeaceLoveArt19]

This was the best tutorial I have found yet! I don't like written tutorials because you could easily misunderstand. I am going to probably make some today! They look so delicious! This was a great tutorial!!

[@yoyomax12]

I am franco-ontarian (or franco-Ontarienne) People that think that macarons should be pronounced macaroon drive me crazy.

[@slim1one]

Greetings from Toronto! I could tell by the way you pronounce macaron that you were probably from Canada, then I looked up your page that said you are from northern Ontario so I knew for sure. I love the French language. I put all three of my kids in French immersion and two of them now have university French degrees. Oh and by the way lol, I loved your video too and will be making these for next weekend. One of my daughters is a macaron fanatic and I have a beautiful tin of Fortnum and Mason loose leaf Earl Grey tea in my kitchen which I'll grind up a bit. Thank you!

[@424MAG]

I tried this recipe but instead of adding the earl grey tea leaves, I sifted passion tea leaves into the mixture and added a little bit of red food dye. For the filling, I added a few drops of lemon. They turned out so amazing and delicious!! Thank you for the recipe and demonstration! :)

[@adubber97]

SHE'S SAYING IT RIGHT "Maca-roon" is wrong and it makes me mad when people say it that way xD A macaroon is some coconut cookie guys.

[@sadiesweitzer]

Buuuuuut she's using macaron as a plural noun. It's MAK-AH-RONS ! *facepalm*

[@ketanielundy8556]

Sadie Sweitzer No she’s saying it right, the French way is Macaron

[@waweev1871]

I have a Kitchen Aid hand mixer right now, and it is one of the best mixers I've ever owned for power to mix. I can't judge durability for it yet because I've only had it about a year

[@MsSpark111]

I want to try making these but I'm nervous.. will try though :)

[@kidwalk2s]

I tried this recipe and they turned out so good. I cut the recipe in half and it made a bout 10. They were the best ones i have made (ived tried other times and failed) i love the suttle hint of the earl tea. I also made the buttercream and it turned out amazing. My favorite treat now. Thank you for posting

[@Nhansen82]

LOL @ all of the people saying it's macaroon. It's macaron.

[@Meowmiq]

I watched the same honey buttercream filling recipe from another youtuber, and i failed completely, but when i watched yours and heard what i needed to do and what consistency it should be at, it turned out wonderfully! I love your ability to explain. Mine had feet too!

[@Leah-ox7fh]

you don't bang the pan of macarons to get rid of the peaks, you bang on it to get rid of air bubbles

[@xsariax]

I just watched a couple of other videos on making macarons (because I'm debating making them), and yours was the easiest to follow. You're very informative and clear with your instructions. Thank you :).

[@allie33211]

Could you use more earl grey tea for a stronger flavor? Like 2 bags?

[@yoyomax12]

It is found in the baking aisle of my very small town grocery store. You can make your own by grinding some blanched almonds (with the brown stuff removed).

[@EstherIngram]

Made these today and they turned out wonderful! A little too sweet for my tastes, so next time I make these I'll knock down the sugar a little.

[@manumuraro]

You can also add a little salt to your egg whites, along with the sugar.

[@silentelysium]

Thanks so much! I've tried many different recipes for macarons and this is the only one that had the fantastic little feet. I'm very happy with the result and you are one superb teacher. THANK YOU once again =)

[@GardenYourHeartOut]

I just tried this for the first time and they looked great until i took it off the parchment paper and most of them stuck to it. Needless to say they r ruined. I did however tried the broken shells and OMG they were WAY too sweet; even without the butter cream filling. I think my second batch will have 3 Tbs of granulated sugar instead of 5.

[@XDXDkairi]

Hilary Hong you don’t want to add any kind of oils to the macarons, it will ruin them, I use a silicone mat like in the video, or you have to let it cool a bit more before taking them off the parchment paper.

[@ladyninja]

I tried this macaron with a bag of vanilla Chai tea and it turned out great. I can smell the tea throughout the kitchen when it was cooling. I'm gonna try filling it with the not - so- sweet cooked frosting in your video. Thanks much.

[@juliefr0g]

I use to have this one account and i commented that i thought the way you pronounced "Macaron" wrong and you banned me.

Best tutorial on Macarons I've found. Attempted them once and it was a horrible experience. Thank you for showing how it should look and feel! I'm definitely trying this again now that I've seen this. Just need to change everything into my measurements. Or find another recipe but use your video as refrence. Either way; MANY THANKS for restoring my hope! I can do this too!

[@r_to_the_core]

I've been so intimidated to do this recipe because I've heard it's quite difficult (or can be) and I so appreciate the length and you showing the proper consistency because of all the videos I've watched on how to make these, this is the ONLY one that not only talked about it, but showed it as well. Thank you!! :)

[@yoyomax12]

This is a very nice compliment indeed! Thank you very much and I'm glad it worked out for you

[@randyRENDEZVOUS]

I love how thorough this video is. My boyfriend and i want to make macarons for the holidays and give them out as presents!

[@SnaffleHunter]

I just made these!!! They were pretty easy (took a while) but so yummy! And beautiful! I had feet too! I was very happy to see them cooking in the oven :) Mine browned very very quickly so they ended up a shade darker than white but they were still super tasty. I halved the buttercream part and it worked out exactly, no left over, no macaron left unfilled. Thanks for the recipe!!

[@PimBalpert]

I tried this recipe when I was first getting into baking, I must have been 15 or so and I just recently rediscovered this video to make some today (I'm 22 now). I have to say thank you for your wonderful baking tutorials that I have watched over the years! ❤

[@strawbzlee]

I did it tonight!!!!!! wooooot!! I've been meaning to make this since last year but never had the guts to do it as I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it, but I DID!! thank you so much!!!

[@AnnisaTK]

Oh my life. I am the happiest girl in the whole entire world right now. Because of you, and that recipe, I have successfully made macarons! Some did have cracks on top! But more than half turned out they way it should. Crip on the top, chewy in the inside. I could die happy.

[@amanalator]

the early grey+honey combination sounds absolutely amazing. i will definitely want to try this!!

[@yoyomax12]

They will rise up slightly but should not spread almost at all. That is why you let them dry a bit, the "skin" that forms on them helps stops the spreading and forces them up, the little frill that forms around the edge is cause by that process.

[@juliahoran8839]

These look INCREDIBLE! You are so so so so so talented!

[@MJ-pj2me]

Omg thank you so much for the recipe it was my third time making macarons first time the recipe was too sweet, the second time the recipe made the macarons wrinkle and crack and the third time using your recipe minus the earl grey tea gave me success!! I'm so happy thank you so much! Plus it's not too sweet and I can actually taste the almond so happy :) and the honey buttercream that is so delicious and I love the fact that it doesn't use icing sugar/powdered sugar and it makes great use of the yolks :D xxx

[@yoyomax12]

I didn't take it as criticism, I find differences in the use of language interesting too. I normally wouldn't say 2 and one half, could be I was reading it directly off of a piece of paper. lol, we just received 20cm of snow overnight and it is business as usual, but we have the snow removal system in place to deal with it (and the driving skills). :) We Canadians are proud of our winter driving skills. ;)
