it's such a minor thing, but I love that he doesn't have everything pre-measured out in tiny little bowls. seeing him scoop straight out the packaging for sugar and flour is so much less intimidating when it comes to wanting to attempt recipes, if I'm making any sense
Made this 2X this week and here are my thoughts: If you do what he says, they come out perfect. Surprisingly easier than I thought…I had to fold the batter for a VERY long time to get that lava consistency, id say more than 5 minutes. If you don’t have a food processor, I recommend sifting at least ten times, maybe more, each time discarding the larger pieces left behind. Everyone who tired them said they were the best French Macarons they’d ever had. I also recommend making them on the bigger side…they seem to cook better if they’re slightly bigger than the recommended 1 inch diameter. I will make these forever, so good, great instructions, worth the money and time.

The factors I’ve found when making macarons that matter the most is whether you mixed your meringue stiff enough, whether your macaronage is not over/undermixed, and oven temperature. Your meringue should be as stiff as you can get it because the additional structure will give you that extra bit of control with the macaronage and make it easier to reach the desired consistency without over mixing. Don’t worry about overmixing your meringue too much, with the amount of sugar that is typically inside the egg whites, it should have the stability to continue being whipped for a long period of time. Macaronaging to the right consistency can make or break your macaron. You’re looking for a consistency where your batter no longer “plops” from your spatula and flows more smoothly like lava, forming ribbons which edges should melt a little into the rest of the batter when you drop it into the bowl. Be careful when pushing your mixture on the side of the bowl, it may get the macaronage done faster but it’s easy to accidentally overmix if you do this, which in that case your macarons will become very flat, or in worst case scenario be wrinkly and feel undercooked with no structure. Oven temperature is also important. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before putting each batch in, especially if you’ve thrown in a batch previously a few minutes ago. Unless you’re using a fancy professional oven, it is vital to do one tray of macarons at a time to ensure even temperature and consistent airflow. It will depend on your recipe and the slightly different ratios, but I’ve found that keeping my oven at 140 degrees Celsius for 17-19 minutes works the best, and it means I don’t have to set the temperature really high then turn it really low and hope my crappy home oven regulates the temperature properly.
My first time making Macarons and I was so worried I would mess up. I followed what Preppy Kitchen said to do and I made it without any mistakes (I'm not gunna lie I surprised myself)! Trust me take your time to do the extra steps, it pays off!
This was very helpful! My sister in law considers herself an accomplished baker and she very arrogantly implied that I couldn’t make macarons. Challenge accepted. Watched this video and made perfect macarons THE FIRST TIME. She seemed impressed/annoyed. Did I mention that HER macarons got messed up? Sweet victory. I must credit this video. Many thanks!
Thank you for clarifying the "super fine" almond flour. For the price, it should be as finely ground as any other flour. It's not. Also, a good tip is, because almond flour contains almond oil, it should be stored in the fridge after opening bag. Otherwise it can go bad.
Omg yesss. I have tried making them more than 20 times and something always goes wrong. Definitely needed another one of these videos to refresh everything. Thank u soo much. Hopefully they work, cause the pain of failing was pathetic.
@@eeshaahmed9930 for the macaronage, mines never turn out like there's, yk how it looks fluffy mines is very thick and it doesn't form, the amount also decrease I'm nit sure if that's suppose to happen but the more I press it against the bowl it gets smaller, any tips?
I came here after Babish mentioned using your earlier macaron recipe in one of his episodes, and can I say I love your channel and you are just delightful.
What funny is I use preppy's macaron recipe on one device and watch his video tutorials on another device and each time I made macarons it came out amazing
For my standards, they turned out AMAZING! I used thee merengue recipient with some strawberry purée for the inner filling. I wasn’t able to process the almond flour because all the oils made it sort of like a paste so I just sifted it. One more thing, definitely put it in the fridge before you eat it. Right out of the oven it was sticky and chewy but after putting it in the fridge it was DELICIOUS!! ❤
i just tried these out, i was expecting a disaster but to my surprise they turned out perfect!! thank you for such an in depth explanation, your recipes always turn out amazing for me
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I tried macarons for my first time yesterday following a different tutorial and they didn’t turn out that great despite following all the instructions. I followed this recipe and they turned out PERFECT. ONLY ON MY SECOND TIME MAKING THEM TOO.
As a 13 year old I managed to make my first ever batch of macarons with no imperfections using this recipe, and now I'm 16 using this recipe for my third time of making macarons! (Hopefully after my next 2-3 times of making macarons I can say I've mastered them, thanks to you!!)
So, thought I wanted to give this a try because I LOVE macaroons, and my DIL makes some that are fabulous. After watching I now know why she only does them for special occasions.
This is the only macron recipe that has come through for me. I tried without the cream of tartar as I don’t have the ingredient on hand and it was a fail. I tried again with cream of tartar and it was PERFECT. Following the given time in the oven if the under of macrons are a bit moist keep em in the oven or even cook for extra 2 mins. Each oven heats and does its thing a bit differently.This was my experience and I worked for me and taught of sharing. Keep monitoring to make sure they don’t get burned on the top though. Thank you thank you thank you for the recipe and all the tips ❤
10:04 Thank you for going over this crucial step. Most of the other videos I have seen skip this and the ones that go over it, don't go into the detail of this step like you do. When I made these the first time, I didn't give them enough time to sit out and form the shell and they deflated in the oven. Now whenever I make macarons I make sure to give them at least an hour to sit out before baking. Makes a MASSIVE difference in the final product.
I am NOT a baker but I always wanted to try them because they are so expensive to buy. I tried today and can't believe how well they turned out!! My buttercream needs work but I'd give myself an A for a first time!! Thank you so much!! So easy to follow between the video and the recipe 🎉
I didn't believe that I would write such a comment but indeed.. its the best recipe I have ever execute.My macarons have no cracks,the feet are perfectly formed and the interior is no more hollowed.Congratulations.!🇬🇷😊
My fiancé and I made these for the first time today and they came out perfect!!!! I can’t thank you enough for your insightful guidance and LOVE for baking! I am so happy I came across your channel 🤍 god bless!!!
I have only attempted to make these once and that was back in 2014. They turned out horrible but I didn’t have the experience I have now. This recipe is absolutely fool proof. I am so excited to make different flavors. Thank you so much, I adore your videos and the way you explain everything!!❤
I have tired making macaroons and gave up on experiments months ago... Got me a macaroon recipe book and they didn't come out nice. Decided to not give up so found your video today and followed your instructions step by step and guess what!!!! I made me some caramel chocolate macaroons.... I found me my go to recipe and thank you thank you thank... I am a Baker and my pet peeve was making macaroons... Not anymore... I am so happy and excited...
I followed the recipe and for a first timer, my macarons came out perfect. 😭 Thank you for this life-changing experience. I have never felt so good with the results after baking❤
Hi John! I absolutely LOVE ALL your videos! It is so fun! I showed one to my sister and she was like “He never stops smiling?” And I was like yeah he’s the best! And most importantly your recipes work!
@@Just2010Bri I took a class yesterday and the chef used sugar and water melted, was wondering if you tasted the granules in the cookie since his sugar wasn't melted.
I have tried many times to make macarons and it was a complete disaster every single time until I tried your recipe. I was jumping with joy when they came out perfect. Thank you for sharing all your amazing recipes
I've wanted to try macarons since I was about 12, I'm 23 and I finally had them for the first time today, strawberry flavored with cream cheese filling. They're like crumbly little cake cookies, and go really well with milk. Definitely worth the wait 🍓🍓💘💘
This is definitely the best video I've seen on making macarons. Thank you! I don't have a food processor so I used my hand sifter - multiple times - to achieve the powdery almond flour-confectioner's sugar combination. And I agree that weighing is much more accurate than measuring the ingredients. Now I just need to work on consistency of the size of the macarons when I pipe them!
I just wanna let you know that I used this guide and my very first batch of macarons turned out pretty alright! I was able to identify that I overmixed the meringue a tiny bit and I was able to confirm that the macaron mat isn't as good as parchment paper, but the texture is still good!
I think it's amazing that u can make literally every dessert that I can think of and some that I've never seen or heard of before. great recipe thanks for sharing ur content with us
I'm excited to attempt my version of a "hot cocoa" macaron. I'm going to try a chocolate macaron with a marshmallow creme inside. I'd appreciate any tips for my filling:) I love making a macaron, so light and beautiful.
I’ll share a marshmallow fluff frosting that’s sooooo good! Would be awesome with hot cocoa macaron: 450g salted softened butter, whip until fluffy about 8-10 mins, add 300g cold sweetened condensed milk and whip that together, then add 200g jarred marshmallow fluff and mix with paddle until incorporated 🙌🏼 So good and easy!
Omg! You posted this right before I was gonna make these! I was going to make them but I didn't have any powdered sugar so I have to go to the store... Then this gets posted! What a coincidence!😅
I can not thank you enough for your videos. All of your videos. I made Macarons for the first time after watching your videos. They came out so well for the first time. Thank you so much!
Food processors are the BEST! I waited until I was in my 50’s to final buy one. If you are young, buy it! Best kitchen too ever. Also, I am super jealous of your spice drawer.
Lol. Try it and make it when you extremely free on your time and don't have to rush anywhere. Make sure u sieve the almod flour well and follow what he does
Thank you for the tips! I was planning on making macarons soon to use as cake toppers for my sister's birthday cake, and I'm so glad you made this video! Much love 💕
Dudes a G. Made these right on my second try and now I don't have to pay an arm and a leg, ($18 for 6 at farmers market) because I can make them myself. Thanks, preppy kitchen!
I had never ever made Macarons in my life. I found a recipe to try, watched your video for all its tips and on my very first attempt made perfect Macarons! Thank you so much!
I am saving this video for when I want to try macarons again. The last time they tasted great but did not look great. 😄 I would love to have a recepie of pistachio macarons. We ate some once in France and they were our favourite ones of all the macarons we tried.
Wow, I can't believe I actually made macarons for the first time this morning! 😍I was a bit hesitant at first because I've heard so many stories about how difficult they can be to get right. But I followed your recipe, and to my surprise, they turned out absolutely amazing! I'm so thrilled and grateful that you shared your recipe with us. Thank you so much for your guidance and inspiration!❤
Tried the it! work out great. i tried it on silicon but was to sticky when i took them off so i purchased from amazon a teflon baking mat with macaron circles, it raised and baked all round perfectly! really surprise with the results thank you for the video, really helped.
My first attempt using this recipie bombed completely... I'm glad this video shows how to flatten out the air bubbles, because I've never understood that part while reading about making macarons
This was very helpful, and as another commenter mentioned, much less intimidating than other videos/recipes I've seen. I made these last night and they turned out alright- I definitely blame myself. I don't quite have the eye for the right level of meringue stiffness yet, and I've always overwhipped and gotten hollow shells. It'll just be a matter of training my eyes / understanding the feel of it for myself, but I would definitely appreciate some pointers. I can get stiff peaks no problem, the meringue staying in the bowl inverted overhead is no problem, but I do believe (and the written recipe reinforces) that it needs to go a little beyond initial stiff peaks. And for my own oven, I tried 14:30 with no rotation (I was afraid I might deflate them opening and shuffling), and they were just under-baked. Next time (this afternoon, likely), I'll try maybe 16 minutes and rotate in the middle. Also, I've never made Italian buttercream because omg how intimidating! It was definitely a little stressful monitoring the mixer and the syrup on opposite sides of the kitchen (another thing I learned I can optimize). Ultimately, I don't think I got the syrup quite right- I think it wasn't quite hot enough maybe? (I may have inadvertently measured the pot instead of the syrup) and the texture of the resulting buttercream was broken to say the least. A quick google search recommended scooping a bit of the buttercream into a microwavable bowl and nuking for ~10 seconds and then re-mixing into the rest. That seemed to work really well! The finished macarons (that I had to use a bit of force and scraping to get off the silpat) are resting in the fridge now, but the one I snuck earlier was delicious. (FWIW, I replaced the vanilla extract with lemon and colored them yellow- yum!)
I was excited to watch you explain the delicate & patient manner of making macarons but I wasn’t ready to view heaven on earth which is your spice drawer…HOLY SMOKES❤
Just wanted to say thank you. I have been trying to make these little teats for my family sweet tooth and your instructions did the trick. I finally got it done. They are not perfect, but I’m fairly new to baking and I’m really proud of myself. Wish I could have added a picture of them. You’re the best. Thanks 😊
You are actually my hero. I tried it! AMAZING! Every other recipe I've used has been a bust. Thank you for being so good at what you do! I trust EVERY recipe you publish :)!
I tried macarons with another recipe and they came out reeeally soft (so I baked them a little longer which resulted in them being too hard… then I tried this recipe and they are awesome!! I could eat all of them at once! I filled half of them with mocca ganache (basically chocolate ganache (chocolate and hot cream) with a little espresso powder mixed in; I also colored the shells with a little cocoa so that they are light brown). The other half, I filled with lemon (and lime) curd. It tasts amaazing!!
Made my first attempt at macarons following these tips! I think they turned out pretty good for a first shot! Very smooth, great flavor, my cookies though ended up pretty dense and chewy without the classic semi-crunchy top before the chew. Any tips to fix that next time? I think I probably over-whipped the egg whites initially, but with these finicky little buggers didn’t want to just go off my assumptions!
I think mine came out good doe I had to gettho it with a blender and use a plastic baggie because I don’t have a pipe bag and also had to buy a sifter for this as well lol
My 9 year old granddaughter loves you! We both do but you have motivated her to bake! She just made your chocolate devils food cake and it was amazing! We are looking forward to making the macaroons! Loved your bakery tour of Paris! It’s so on her bucket list! Xoxox
Your guide was so helpful! Mine are in the oven and I'm feeling confident after having been too nervous to try. I have a divine lemon curd buttercream ready to fill. So excited!
Super excited, my first try with these and I have heard that they are difficult and lots of fails but following your video they came out absolutely perfect!
Absolutely fantastic recipe! I wanted to make some macarons for my boyfriend for Valentines day and I made 2 disaster batches last night with a different recipe. Desperately went looking for a video today and found this one! I've still got some mastering to do but they turned out great. Very happy for my third attempt ever!
Wow I just made these and it was amazing and it was my first time making it. Plus it even took some couple attempts but at last I did it and I’m proud of it! Thank you for this recipe!👍

Macaronaging to the right consistency can make or break your macaron. You’re looking for a consistency where your batter no longer “plops” from your spatula and flows more smoothly like lava, forming ribbons which edges should melt a little into the rest of the batter when you drop it into the bowl. Be careful when pushing your mixture on the side of the bowl, it may get the macaronage done faster but it’s easy to accidentally overmix if you do this, which in that case your macarons will become very flat, or in worst case scenario be wrinkly and feel undercooked with no structure.
Oven temperature is also important. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before putting each batch in, especially if you’ve thrown in a batch previously a few minutes ago. Unless you’re using a fancy professional oven, it is vital to do one tray of macarons at a time to ensure even temperature and consistent airflow. It will depend on your recipe and the slightly different ratios, but I’ve found that keeping my oven at 140 degrees Celsius for 17-19 minutes works the best, and it means I don’t have to set the temperature really high then turn it really low and hope my crappy home oven regulates the temperature properly.
Thank you these tips seem very helpful!
Can I ask if you use bottom heat or fan assisted when you put it on 140? 😊
Hey John what up! What is the humidity in your kitchen when you make macarons? 😌
My first time making Macarons and I was so worried I would mess up. I followed what Preppy Kitchen said to do and I made it without any mistakes (I'm not gunna lie I surprised myself)! Trust me take your time to do the extra steps, it pays off!
perfect timing, i just bought almond flour!
Hope you enjoy!
Right! ❤️❤️ me too
@@hemnamusunur6088 they were definitely tricky but i think my biggest mistake was not making the flour fine enough!
This was very helpful! My sister in law considers herself an accomplished baker and she very arrogantly implied that I couldn’t make macarons. Challenge accepted. Watched this video and made perfect macarons THE FIRST TIME. She seemed impressed/annoyed. Did I mention that HER macarons got messed up? Sweet victory. I must credit this video. Many thanks!
Thank you for clarifying the "super fine" almond flour. For the price, it should be as finely ground as any other flour. It's not. Also, a good tip is, because almond flour contains almond oil, it should be stored in the fridge after opening bag. Otherwise it can go bad.
3:59 oh my gosh that is the spice drawer of my dreams 😮
Same!
It's also product placement?
Omg yesss. I have tried making them more than 20 times and something always goes wrong. Definitely needed another one of these videos to refresh everything. Thank u soo much. Hopefully they work, cause the pain of failing was pathetic.
Would you let me know how it turns out?
I love making macarons but I always want to hear about other recipes and results.
@@Tinymoezzy yeah sure I'll let u know when I make them in a few days!
@@eeshaahmed9930 have you made them yet? 👀
@@Ra1nb0wPuff yes I made them! It works. But make sure that u use a good almond flour. Be very careful during the macronage!
@@eeshaahmed9930 for the macaronage, mines never turn out like there's, yk how it looks fluffy mines is very thick and it doesn't form, the amount also decrease I'm nit sure if that's suppose to happen but the more I press it against the bowl it gets smaller, any tips?
I came here after Babish mentioned using your earlier macaron recipe in one of his episodes, and can I say I love your channel and you are just delightful.
What funny is I use preppy's macaron recipe on one device and watch his video tutorials on another device and each time I made macarons it came out amazing
For my standards, they turned out AMAZING! I used thee merengue recipient with some strawberry purée for the inner filling. I wasn’t able to process the almond flour because all the oils made it sort of like a paste so I just sifted it. One more thing, definitely put it in the fridge before you eat it. Right out of the oven it was sticky and chewy but after putting it in the fridge it was DELICIOUS!! ❤
i just tried these out, i was expecting a disaster but to my surprise they turned out perfect!! thank you for such an in depth explanation, your recipes always turn out amazing for me
I am a beginner baker and have always been intimidated by macarons, this recipe helped me so much! My hat is off to you, John.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I tried macarons for my first time yesterday following a different tutorial and they didn’t turn out that great despite following all the instructions. I followed this recipe and they turned out PERFECT. ONLY ON MY SECOND TIME MAKING THEM TOO.
As a 13 year old I managed to make my first ever batch of macarons with no imperfections using this recipe, and now I'm 16 using this recipe for my third time of making macarons! (Hopefully after my next 2-3 times of making macarons I can say I've mastered them, thanks to you!!)
So, thought I wanted to give this a try because I LOVE macaroons, and my DIL makes some that are fabulous. After watching I now know why she only does them for special occasions.
Thanks, this helped me finish my french project. Took me 2 hours to translate everything.
I've followed your recipe a few times now and every time, I'm amazed at how beautiful these cookies come out of the oven. Thank you!
This is the only macron recipe that has come through for me.
I tried without the cream of tartar as I don’t have the ingredient on hand and it was a fail.
I tried again with cream of tartar and it was PERFECT.
Following the given time in the oven if the under of macrons are a bit moist keep em in the oven or even cook for extra 2 mins. Each oven heats and does its thing a bit differently.This was my experience and I worked for me and taught of sharing. Keep monitoring to make sure they don’t get burned on the top though.
Thank you thank you thank you for the recipe and all the tips ❤
10:04 Thank you for going over this crucial step. Most of the other videos I have seen skip this and the ones that go over it, don't go into the detail of this step like you do. When I made these the first time, I didn't give them enough time to sit out and form the shell and they deflated in the oven. Now whenever I make macarons I make sure to give them at least an hour to sit out before baking. Makes a MASSIVE difference in the final product.
I did my first macarons today with your recipe and I freaking nailed it!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Omg i was watching macaron videos right now then i got the notification for this
Perfect timing!!
Thx for the video it is reallly helpful
I am NOT a baker but I always wanted to try them because they are so expensive to buy. I tried today and can't believe how well they turned out!! My buttercream needs work but I'd give myself an A for a first time!! Thank you so much!! So easy to follow between the video and the recipe 🎉
I tried macarons 3 times today!!! Failed!!!
Me: wait, preppy kitchen should have this recipe!!
God!! They’re beautiful 😭 you are amazing 💜
I didn't believe that I would write such a comment but indeed.. its the best recipe I have ever execute.My macarons have no cracks,the feet are perfectly formed and the interior is no more hollowed.Congratulations.!🇬🇷😊
My fiancé and I made these for the first time today and they came out perfect!!!! I can’t thank you enough for your insightful guidance and LOVE for baking! I am so happy I came across your channel 🤍 god bless!!!
Bro my fiancé and I tried this 20 times and failed 😭😂
Our collective cooking husband saves the day again.
Facts
I have only attempted to make these once and that was back in 2014. They turned out horrible but I didn’t have the experience I have now. This recipe is absolutely fool proof. I am so excited to make different flavors. Thank you so much, I adore your videos and the way you explain everything!!❤
I have tired making macaroons and gave up on experiments months ago... Got me a macaroon recipe book and they didn't come out nice. Decided to not give up so found your video today and followed your instructions step by step and guess what!!!! I made me some caramel chocolate macaroons.... I found me my go to recipe and thank you thank you thank...
I am a Baker and my pet peeve was making macaroons... Not anymore... I am so happy and excited...
I followed the recipe and for a first timer, my macarons came out perfect. 😭 Thank you for this life-changing experience. I have never felt so good with the results after baking❤
everyone makes it like these are the hardest dessert to make. One video of you making them and i’m confident to try
Hi John! I absolutely LOVE ALL your videos! It is so fun! I showed one to my sister and she was like “He never stops smiling?” And I was like yeah he’s the best! And most importantly your recipes work!
I made these my first time today! Thank you so much for breaking this down so well!!
How did it go?
It went really well actually! I’m making another batch tomorrow!
@@Just2010Bri I took a class yesterday and the chef used sugar and water melted, was wondering if you tasted the granules in the cookie since his sugar wasn't melted.
I have tried many times to make macarons and it was a complete disaster every single time until I tried your recipe. I was jumping with joy when they came out perfect. Thank you for sharing all your amazing recipes
I've wanted to try macarons since I was about 12, I'm 23 and I finally had them for the first time today, strawberry flavored with cream cheese filling. They're like crumbly little cake cookies, and go really well with milk. Definitely worth the wait 🍓🍓💘💘
THIS CAME OUT AMAZING THE FIRST TIME I MADE THIS TYSMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
FIRST TIME?? HOW CHILD HOW.
now that's what I call a moment to be born for-
Do lemon raspberry flavor! It would be so refreshing with spring rolling around soon. Love the vids💕
Oh, yes!!! Delicious.
Ooh yum!! So perfect for spring 💜
Yes please I would love a recipe for this
This is definitely the best video I've seen on making macarons. Thank you! I don't have a food processor so I used my hand sifter - multiple times - to achieve the powdery almond flour-confectioner's sugar combination. And I agree that weighing is much more accurate than measuring the ingredients.
Now I just need to work on consistency of the size of the macarons when I pipe them!
I just wanna let you know that I used this guide and my very first batch of macarons turned out pretty alright! I was able to identify that I overmixed the meringue a tiny bit and I was able to confirm that the macaron mat isn't as good as parchment paper, but the texture is still good!
Hey, how did you identify that you whipped too much?
Was your batter too thick?
I think it's amazing that u can make literally every dessert that I can think of and some that I've never seen or heard of before. great recipe thanks for sharing ur content with us
I'm excited to attempt my version of a "hot cocoa" macaron. I'm going to try a chocolate macaron with a marshmallow creme inside. I'd appreciate any tips for my filling:) I love making a macaron, so light and beautiful.
You could maybe add some crushed candy cane in with the filling and it could be like a Peppermint cocoa!
Classic Swiss meringue or you could make actual marshmallows and trim to size with tartare molds
I’ll share a marshmallow fluff frosting that’s sooooo good! Would be awesome with hot cocoa macaron: 450g salted softened butter, whip until fluffy about 8-10 mins, add 300g cold sweetened condensed milk and whip that together, then add 200g jarred marshmallow fluff and mix with paddle until incorporated 🙌🏼 So good and easy!
Omg! You posted this right before I was gonna make these! I was going to make them but I didn't have any powdered sugar so I have to go to the store... Then this gets posted! What a coincidence!😅
That's too funny!
@@PreppyKitchen Yeah, I had the videos and recipes for the macarons and for the butter cream out and then this video got posted!😊
@@hemnamusunur6088 They turned out great! They were absolutely delicious!
I can not thank you enough for your videos. All of your videos. I made Macarons for the first time after watching your videos. They came out so well for the first time. Thank you so much!
Food processors are the BEST! I waited until I was in my 50’s to final buy one. If you are young, buy it! Best kitchen too ever. Also, I am super jealous of your spice drawer.
I gave up on making macarons years ago, but I think I’m ready to get my heart broken again.
Lol. Try it and make it when you extremely free on your time and don't have to rush anywhere. Make sure u sieve the almod flour well and follow what he does
@@mesolehelen6088 is it has to be almond flour only?
@@imbotlol8411 when I guess almond is the best but have seen people also use all purpose flour but real macarons are almond flour.
Thank you for the tips! I was planning on making macarons soon to use as cake toppers for my sister's birthday cake, and I'm so glad you made this video! Much love 💕
I am in love with the spice drawer.
Me to! It's amazing! 🥰
Dudes a G. Made these right on my second try and now I don't have to pay an arm and a leg, ($18 for 6 at farmers market) because I can make them myself. Thanks, preppy kitchen!
I had never ever made Macarons in my life. I found a recipe to try, watched your video for all its tips and on my very first attempt made perfect Macarons! Thank you so much!
I am saving this video for when I want to try macarons again. The last time they tasted great but did not look great. 😄 I would love to have a recepie of pistachio macarons. We ate some once in France and they were our favourite ones of all the macarons we tried.
Wow, I can't believe I actually made macarons for the first time this morning! 😍I was a bit hesitant at first because I've heard so many stories about how difficult they can be to get right. But I followed your recipe, and to my surprise, they turned out absolutely amazing! I'm so thrilled and grateful that you shared your recipe with us. Thank you so much for your guidance and inspiration!❤
Good for you! What kind did you make? I want to try for the first time!
@@GrammaPatriot Thanks🙂 I followed the recipe step by step and made strawberry macaroons. I hope you can make them amazingly delicious 😊
Next episode of preppy kitchen bloopers... The macaroon batter does fall on John‘s head while testing its stiffness.
Tried the it! work out great. i tried it on silicon but was to sticky when i took them off so i purchased from amazon a teflon baking mat with macaron circles, it raised and baked all round perfectly! really surprise with the results thank you for the video, really helped.
My first attempt using this recipie bombed completely... I'm glad this video shows how to flatten out the air bubbles, because I've never understood that part while reading about making macarons
Congratulations in advance for 2 million!😊🎉✨
Thank you so much!
"You're in no hurry"
Me who is in a hurry because my guests are coming and I have nothing prepared:
I would LOVE to see a green tea macaron recipe! 🍵
You are such a superb teacher.
You could just add some green tea powder to the mixture and maybe a matcha frosting
how about matcha
This was very helpful, and as another commenter mentioned, much less intimidating than other videos/recipes I've seen. I made these last night and they turned out alright- I definitely blame myself. I don't quite have the eye for the right level of meringue stiffness yet, and I've always overwhipped and gotten hollow shells. It'll just be a matter of training my eyes / understanding the feel of it for myself, but I would definitely appreciate some pointers. I can get stiff peaks no problem, the meringue staying in the bowl inverted overhead is no problem, but I do believe (and the written recipe reinforces) that it needs to go a little beyond initial stiff peaks. And for my own oven, I tried 14:30 with no rotation (I was afraid I might deflate them opening and shuffling), and they were just under-baked. Next time (this afternoon, likely), I'll try maybe 16 minutes and rotate in the middle.
Also, I've never made Italian buttercream because omg how intimidating! It was definitely a little stressful monitoring the mixer and the syrup on opposite sides of the kitchen (another thing I learned I can optimize). Ultimately, I don't think I got the syrup quite right- I think it wasn't quite hot enough maybe? (I may have inadvertently measured the pot instead of the syrup) and the texture of the resulting buttercream was broken to say the least. A quick google search recommended scooping a bit of the buttercream into a microwavable bowl and nuking for ~10 seconds and then re-mixing into the rest. That seemed to work really well! The finished macarons (that I had to use a bit of force and scraping to get off the silpat) are resting in the fridge now, but the one I snuck earlier was delicious. (FWIW, I replaced the vanilla extract with lemon and colored them yellow- yum!)
I was excited to watch you explain the delicate & patient manner of making macarons but I wasn’t ready to view heaven on earth which is your spice drawer…HOLY SMOKES❤
Just wanted to say thank you. I have been trying to make these little teats for my family sweet tooth and your instructions did the trick. I finally got it done. They are not perfect, but I’m fairly new to baking and I’m really proud of myself. Wish I could have added a picture of them. You’re the best. Thanks 😊
You are actually my hero. I tried it! AMAZING! Every other recipe I've used has been a bust. Thank you for being so good at what you do! I trust EVERY recipe you publish :)!
Ooo
Those macarons at the beginning tho-
:o a heart! Tysm John!
Lol I just edited macaroons to macarons
I tried macarons with another recipe and they came out reeeally soft (so I baked them a little longer which resulted in them being too hard… then I tried this recipe and they are awesome!! I could eat all of them at once!
I filled half of them with mocca ganache (basically chocolate ganache (chocolate and hot cream) with a little espresso powder mixed in; I also colored the shells with a little cocoa so that they are light brown).
The other half, I filled with lemon (and lime) curd. It tasts amaazing!!
Made my first attempt at macarons following these tips! I think they turned out pretty good for a first shot! Very smooth, great flavor, my cookies though ended up pretty dense and chewy without the classic semi-crunchy top before the chew. Any tips to fix that next time? I think I probably over-whipped the egg whites initially, but with these finicky little buggers didn’t want to just go off my assumptions!
I TRIED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THEY CAME OUT PERFECT!! Thank you so much 😍😍🥰
I think mine came out good doe I had to gettho it with a blender and use a plastic baggie because I don’t have a pipe bag and also had to buy a sifter for this as well lol
My 9 year old granddaughter loves you! We both do but you have motivated her to bake! She just made your chocolate devils food cake and it was amazing! We are looking forward to making the macaroons! Loved your bakery tour of Paris! It’s so on her bucket list! Xoxox
Your guide was so helpful! Mine are in the oven and I'm feeling confident after having been too nervous to try. I have a divine lemon curd buttercream ready to fill. So excited!
Hi. How's your macaroons. Turn success?
Super excited, my first try with these and I have heard that they are difficult and lots of fails but following your video they came out absolutely perfect!
Made macarons for the 1st time using this recipe: total success !
The drawer with all those spices organized makes me smile! 😁... can you make a video talking about all the spices that you have in the drawer?
I finally got a food processor so I can make macarons! Perfect timing I can't wait to try these
Look at those bubbles. This is UNACCEPTABLE 😂
I love u ♥
Oh my. I love how you completely design ur kitchen and the drawer with the spices.
Absolutely fantastic recipe! I wanted to make some macarons for my boyfriend for Valentines day and I made 2 disaster batches last night with a different recipe. Desperately went looking for a video today and found this one! I've still got some mastering to do but they turned out great. Very happy for my third attempt ever!
Wow I just made these and it was amazing and it was my first time making it. Plus it even took some couple attempts but at last I did it and I’m proud of it! Thank you for this recipe!👍
