BLACK CURRANT IVOIRE 35% MACARONS 

INSTRUCTIONS

MACARON BATTER

• Combine the almond flour with the confectioner’s sugar and mix well.
• Add the first addition of egg whites to form a paste and set aside.
• Cook the 150g of sugar and water to 230°F/233.6°F (110°C/112°C) in a pot over medium/low heat.
• Meanwhile, lightly whip the egg whites – on medium speed.
• When the sugar is up to temperature, pour the sugar syrup into the whipped egg whites and sugar mixture.
• Slowly pour down the side of the bowl to prevent the sugar from attaching to the whisk.
• Beat at medium speed until the meringue cooled and thick, then add to the first mixture, in three additions.
• Use a spatula to stir the mixtures together gently, scraping the sides of the bowl with each turn, until the batter is smooth, creamy and shiny. This is called “macaroning”.
