Sugar Lemon Macarons With No Poser
I can strongly recommend this recipe since 90 % of people who tried this succeeded in making macarons.
This recipe has a high success rate because of the "Swiss meringue" method that you whip the egg whites over a double boiler.
These macaron shells are easier to get browned, so when they look like they will brown, cover with aluminum foil, or turn off the oven, and continue cooking with the residual heat. For about 24 macaron shells (3-4 cm [1.6 in] diameter). Recipe by C:Blue

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Sift the almond flour. It's easier to sift if you chill it in the freezer until right before you use.
- 2
Put the egg white, sugar and powdered lemonade in a bowl, and whip over a double boiler at around 70℃.
- 3
Whip really well until the meringue wont't fall even if the bowl is turned upside-down.
- 4
You will have a white, fine, glossy, and slightly sticky meringue.
- 5
Remove from the double boiler, and sift in the almond flour from Step 1. So you have to sift the almond flour twice.
- 6
Gently combine the meringue and almond flour, then stir well as if you're breaking the air bubbles. The batter is ready if it falls very slowly into a ribbon.
- 7
If you're drying the macaroni shells, move on to Step 8.
- 8
Put the macaron batter from Step 6 into a piping bag, and pipe it out 2-3 cm diameter circles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Have 2-3 cm gaps between the macaron shells.
- 9
Let them dry until the surfaces become dry properly. Let them dry until the batter won't stick to your finger. They will turn a bit rubbery.
- 10
Preheat the oven to 160℃, and put the dried macaron shells inside. Set the oven temperature to 130 ℃, and bake for 15 - 16 minutes.
- 11
Once they are baked, remove the parchment paper after they are cooled thoroughly. If it's difficult to remove the parchment paper, put the macaron shells together with the parchment paper into the freezer for a few minutes. Then the parchment paper will come off easily.
- 12
The macaron shells are just right if it's slightly difficult to remove them from the parchment paper. They are over-baked if they come off easily, and you might get air pockets inside the shells.
- 13
Sandwich cream of your choice between 2 macaron shells, and they are done. It's nice to fill them with softened cream cheese, and they taste just like no-bake cheesecake!
- 14
They will be moist and tasty from next day onward. Keep them in the fridge, and eat within 1 week. You can wrap them individually in cling film, and put them in the freezer.
- 15
To store the leftover egg yolks, add 5 g sugar for each egg yolk, then freeze. By doing so, the quality of egg yolk stays the same. Thaw it in the fridge when you want to use it.
- 16
Important note: Always use granulated sugar. Caster sugar has high sugar content and moisture content, so it's not suitable for making macrons. Using caster sugar may cause a failure.

Frozen Macarons Frozen Macarons
As soon as I saw these two colors of dragées, I had an inspiraiton. My first inspiration was the colors of Snow Miku (winter-themed Hatsune Miku). Both Snow Miku and Frozen fit the image of these macarons perfectly.The oven temperature will vary depending on the season (and the room temperature).In the winter, start at 200°C and go to 130°C. In the summer, start at 180°C and go to 120°C. Observe the macarons and adjust. If the macarons get browned they'll no longer have a "snowy" image.If you are using powdered food coloring, dissolve it in a bit of water first. Recipe by RTP. -

French Macarons French Macarons
I prefer to make these myself at home and just play around with the flavors, as there's really nowhere to buy them where I live...not to mention they can be pricy when I do find them (anywhere from $2-$5 per cookie!) They can be finicky and they require patience. Once you master the basic recipe, you can make endless flavor variations. I'm by no means an expert, but this is the basic recipe that I use. To make them different colors, use 2-4 drops of gel food coloring and add it to the eggs once soft peaks have formed, then continue to whip them into stiff peaks. Keep in mind that they will turn out a shade or so lighter after baking than the batter is initially. You can also add up to 1/4 tsp. of a flavored extract at the same time as the food coloring.

My Original Strawberry Macarons My Original Strawberry Macarons
This is my second attempt at making macarons.The egg whites can be mixed with just 25 grams of sugar as well (though it may be best not to use less than that)The amount of time needed to dry the macarons in Step 8 will depend on the humidity of your room.Batter that has food colouring added will lower the oven temperature. (To make sure that they don't burn, you can cover with aluminium foil halfway through) Recipe by ko-ko -

Lemon Curd for Macarons Lemon Curd for Macarons
Using the lemon macaron filling recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as reference, I came up with a sweet and sour version using less sugar and lemon juice. Mr. Herme's "Macaron" book is an indispensable macaron bible!Use the freshest eggs you can find.While using the double boiler, be absolutely sure to keep mixing with the whisk. (Be careful not to let the egg turn into scrambled eggs.) It will take a while for it to get to a loose custard-like consistency. So, slowly mix well over low heat. Recipe by yukoz1
