Prep Work Details

NOTES FROM THE CHEF: This class may extend past 90 minutes to ensure every guest is successful at making these lovely macarons. If you do not have a scale that weighs in grams, you can use the Imperial measurement (US metrics) conversions below: Confectioner’s Sugar - 1 cup Almond Flour - 1 cup + 5 TB Freshly Cracked Egg Whites - 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar - 1/2 cup Separate egg whites from yolks. Be careful there are no "goldfish" (yolks) whatsoever and refrigerate your whites. Remove from the refrigerator 60 minutes prior to class. Have a fan with a “low” setting ready nearby (this will be used to help dry out the cookies prior to baking). Oven fans (in hood system) are not kind to drying macarons. Have your piping bags and sheet trays ready. If using parchment paper, have it cut or lined up inside the tray, not hanging over the sides of the tray.

She was amazing, and so patient! You hear all these stories about making macarons and let me just say, round 1 was a fail, but I was so inspired that I gave it another go the following day, and with the help of a scale, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MACARONS!!!!! The lemon curd filling is literally mouth-watering. Cannot wait to try these again!!!!!!
