Videos by MAD MACS in Springfield. MAD FOR MACARONS? From scratch macarons with seasonal flavors and fillings, some fun creations too!
Surprise! You'll finally get the chance to sign up to master these macs WITH ME! Keep an eye on the Forward mag and other LLCC announcements to sign up for a community macaron class. Lots of wonderful instructors (including one of my best, extremely talented friends) to learn from and so many class options! More details on that soon.
Now, here are some of my top tips: ⬇️
• Keep all of your equipment clean and grease free. No leftover butter from buttercreams or oils left in any bowls/on spatula
• WEIGH all of your ingredients using a kitchen scale. No measuring cups here, we want to be PRECISE!
• Work on a strong merengue and understand stiff peaks before beginning.
• Macaronage MATTERS- the process of folding our dry ingredients into merengue. Look it up, get used to the idea and go slow. Check your progress before you overwork the batter.
• I highly recommend using a template, parchment or silicone. Silicone mats are my fave.
• Don't be afraid to slam those sheet trays. Get the air out and end up with uniform, smooth shells.
• Let them mature! Macaron shells soak up the flavors of our fillings and help to soften any hardness of the shell for a perfect finish. 24-48 hours in a sealed container in the fridge before serving is best.
Hope this helps! 💗
