Step 1 – Meringue

– stable meringue is a foundation for any macaron. For a perfect meringue, make sure you take only the room temperatured eggwhites. Even a small drop of egg yolk will spoil the meringue.
-start to beat the egg whites while gradually adding castor sugar until you get stiff peaks

Step 2 – Macaronage

– Macaronage is a step when we mix dry ingredients with meringue and fold the batter until perfect consistency. One way to test the consistency of the batter is to drop the batter into a ribbon and try to draw figure ‘8’ with the batter. if the batter is able to fall into ribbon without any breakage of the flow, your batter is ready to go!!

Step 3- Resting the shells and baking

– Once the macaron shells are piped on a baking tray. allow it to rest for bout 30-60mins or until a thin layer of skin is formed over the top. To test, lightly touch the top of the shell with a finger. It should be dry to the touch, and the batter shouldn’t stick to your finger. Bake the shells in a preheated oven at 160°C for 15-17 minutes.
