C&H brand sugar makes caster sugar. It is labeled Baker (or Baker's) Sugar. It is sold in a container that looks like a milk carton.

I am using this recipe for mint chocolate macarons and use them to decorate mint chocolate cake using your other recipe.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! :)

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

Those look so good! And Luke approved🙃

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! To be fair he’s not a tough critic 🤣😂

These look delicious -- thanks for all of the great tips!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful :)

[@milesia1269]

Thank you for such a quick reply. I appreciate it. Going to try it with flour see how it goes. 🤞

Thank you! :)

Does your hand mixer have headlights? Lol. My vacuum does and my swiffer, but I've never seen a hand mixer with little headlights lol. I love it.

[@SugarSpunRun]

It does! I really like it. 😊

[@CShannon1991]

Believe it or not, there’s also a light on a Breville stand mixer.

[@CShannon1991]

4:41, shade thrown at the poor stand mixer. 😂

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

Fabulous thank you Sam Luke is helping you God bless

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much!

[@perkystrawberry]

any chance you could share where you got your sifter?

[@robinlulich4788]

Question looks like you’re using a silicon spatula for the macaronage step ( I’m confused what type of spatula do we use if not silicon or rubber ) when folding in the flour mixture into the egg white mixture ?

[@cubeninja1881]

Your piping is so good lol

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! 😊

[@suhakhalil6628]

Hi i wonder if i can freeze the macaron and at what stage thank you

[@taravincent7861]

How long are Macs good for in the fridge? Can you freeze them?

[@HomemadeCookingTube]

Is their any other options I can use besides almond flour. My husband is allergic to all nuts.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so sorry I have not tried them with any flour other than almond flour. Perhaps someone else has tried and can chime in.

[@ejfhsk]

I really like this detailed recipe. I tried this after trying your previous macaron recipe and they never fail me. Do you think I could try this with black cocoa powder? Would it change anything besides the flavour and colour

[@SugarSpunRun]

Black chocolate cocoa powder will work here. It shouldn't change anything other than the flavor. :)

[@olamuyiwaojo555]

Hi,'ll don't forget the raspberry cake and frosting

[@chitrasakrabani5213]

When you age the egg whites over a 24 hour period, can you leave it in the refrigerator ? Thanks

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes you can :)

[@chitrasakrabani5213]

@@SugarSpunRun thank you

[@chitrasakrabani5213]

Your recipe says the amount stated yields 25 macarons. Are these macaron shells or sandwiched macarons because I only want to make a small quantity. Thank you.

[@lanceg133]

Just curious... How much do the egg whites weigh after aging?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’ve never weighed them after aging. I suspect the difference in weight would be quite small.

[@lubauscatu9035]

Can I add less sugar powder with almond powder? I prefer less sweet

[@SugarSpunRun]

Adjustments with macarons are risky, if you have a good handle on pulling them off as written you can try experimenting but because they’re so finicky I can’t say for sure they will turn out.

[@matthewwhittington-jk9ep]

Macaroons delicious chocolate.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you 😋

[@heerakhambatta2910]

Hey. Lovely recipe. Thanks 🎉. Jus one question. Do u bake in fan Assisted mode. Or normal top n bottom heat bake mode ?????

[@SugarSpunRun]

I use a traditional conventional oven, no convection. :)

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

As someone with a life-threatening tree nut allergy, is there a different flour I can use to make these?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Ooh that’s tough, I’m sorry but I don’t have a substitute that I am confident enough to recommend as I haven’t tried. I do know that some people have used all purpose flour, but I am not sure exactly how they substitute. I’m sorry! Maybe someone here has tried it and can chime in with a recommendation.

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

There are recipes with all purpose flour. I believe there are even ones for gluten free. Just look around KZbin or the internet.

[@HomemadeCookingTube]

Thank you this answered my question my husband is allergic to all nuts. I'll look around for a recipe I really want to try and make some macarons never tried my hand at them. Thanks for sharing. I tried a lot of your recipes and my family loves them.

[@MichaelAlthauser]

@@Brandi_the_Baker Normal macarons are naturally gluten free...

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

@@MichaelAlthauserI mean nut free and gluten free.

[@Re-sm9jd]

I probably tried macrons once and didn’t like it so I haven’t given it another try, but Luke saying it’s better than chocolate chip cookies made me exited to try them 😂

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣🤣 thank you very much! I hope you do give these a try. They really are great!

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

325 seems high. I’ve always seen like 290 or 300. What are your thoughts. What kind of oven are you using? Is it on fan?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I don’t use a fan oven. 325 is what works best in my kitchen but everyone’s kitchen is different :)

[@ambertrees5844]

I’m trying to make three different colors with only one set of the ingredients

[@SugarSpunRun]

It's going to be difficult to color these due to the color from the chocolate in the macarons.

[@milesia1269]

I'm allergic to almond flour can I use something different.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Unfortunately I haven't tested with any flour other than almond flour, I'm sorry :(

[@pclem4686]

Mm they look good like chocolately 🤎

[@ChristianCabelleza]

I want chocolate macaron

[@SugarSpunRun]

They are sooooo good! :)

[@conniebosworth1618]

Could u ruin the process if u add all the dry at once? I’m on the hunt of why my batter was stiff it never thinned out.

[@SugarSpunRun]

You run the risk of over-mixing the batter and not having it properly incorporated.

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

You should flip your pan upside down for better airflow during baking. 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

I know some people swear by this, but it has never made a difference for me, but it could possibly help someone else!

[@Beckymt24]

The cookies won't fall off the pan when you do this?

[@lorrem2539]

gosh, don't know how I missed this video, and the one after this and the one after that! I must have been busy, lol. Did you get highlights? Your hair looks blonder, love it.

🤣 Thank you! :)

[@emfa2591]

Unfortunately I'm not getting stiff peak 😢

[@SugarSpunRun]

Ugh 😞 Might have to start over unfortunately.

[@emfa2591]

@SugarSpunRun I got it just a bit and they turned out nice I'm nit sure if they're proper macarons but I'm just practicing I'm also a child so ypur recipe really helped

[@tirathkaur-uc6lm]

I tried the recipe and followed the steps but it failed

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so sorry to hear that! What happened? Macarons can be quite tricky.

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

Also, you should refrigerate your macarons for 24 hours to mature them.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I recommend that with my classic French macaron recipe but it’s not necessary with this one. Of course you could refrigerate them and they’ll still be delicious after 24 hours!☺️

[@christopherbareja996]

Just a warning the ganache is superrr runny if you follow the linked recipe. Not suitable for filling a macaron at all. You'll want a ratio of at least twice as much chocolate to cream for a thick ganache whereas this recipe is one to one. Too runny.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I actually make it on camera here. It may just have needed to cool longer

[@christopherbareja996]

@@SugarSpunRun I ended up nearly doubling the chocolate and cooling it over night to get it to the right consistency.

[@johnwall4690]

Definitely can tell Luke is a lil' chip off the Macaron! .

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣🤣 he sure is!

[@dwh751]

What is kobasure chocolate?? Never heard of this, why not say what it is. You talk way too fast for an instructional video.

[@SugarSpunRun]

It’s couverture chocolate. The videos are really informational they aren’t meant to bake along to.
