- Macarons take a lot of practise to perfect so I've made this tutorial as detailed as possible to make it clear and easy for you to follow. I even have a trick to use up those egg yolks that usually go to waste!
This is the foundation recipe of all the macarons I make no matter what shape, colour or flavour they are. If there is a particular macaron you want me to make then comment below!
Enjoy!

Hi. Thank you so much for your video. I have tried for a lång time to get perfect macarones. Now they are. So happy. Regards from Sweden 😀
There look perfect 👌🏼 going to give a try making.
Thank you for this video. This was my first attempt at Macarons and they were mostly successful! They all taste great but some have lopsided “feet”. I’ll have to work on my piping skills. Thanks again, Georgia.
This is is great not too frightening I'm going to try them

Hi Georgia! New follower here and I’ve got to say I am loving all that you are sharing!! I do want to say though (you 😊 may have already been told) in the U.S. there is a BIG difference between a MACARON and a MACAROON. The Macaroon is a coconut cookie! I am looking forward to seeing all of your yummy creations!!! Keep them coming!
Hi, I’m your fan from Thailand. I love baking and really Love your channel
thank you so much. didn't regret watching this video.
Hi Goergia! I’m having a tough time getting the recipe to cups/tsp vs grams. Any tips on converting it?
Thank you, Georgia for sharing your amazing recipes! We are baking your delicious macarons right now! We are practicing how to make them. My daughter’s Sweet Sixteen is in two weeks and she wants me to make her your drip cake, she absolutely loves it! I’ll let you know how it went! 💗
Hi Georgia, You should make love hearted shaped macarons!
Hi!! lovely video! I want to try your recipe, my question is did you baked them in a convection oven? I only have convection oven whwere the air is moving? o the heat comes from the bottom? Thank you!
Thank you for this video, you make it look so easy than the other videos which looks complicated. I'm going back to try to make again for the 10th time lol
Thank you! and good luck ;)
thank you so much for making this as easy as possible I am still scared to make them so i can't wait to do it
They look so beautiful
Great job on the macaroons.
Using a glass to sieve out the sugar is such a great idea! And the Macarons look cute :)
its a great tip!! Thank you!
Hi Georgia!! I love ALL your videos so simple and easy to follow! Thank you! I’ve made these before (ages ago) and they came out PERFECT, I’m about to make them again but I can’t for the life of me remember what I did for oven temperature? I think it was 135•C but for how long? Thank you so much!! 😊
This is an update on my post 6 days ago. I made my 2nd batch yesterday and it worked perfectly again. No hollows!!! That was my problem before as I was using the French meringue method. Note though that I am using a hand mixer and initially I got a 'soupy' meringue. The correction I made is to whipped my egg whites to firm peaks before I add the sugar syrup. Thank you very much for your video.
Well done!
Hi, love your recipe. Quick question, can I use pasteurized egg whites instead of fresh egg white?
Hie Georgia, great video thanks for the tips...will this method work with All purpose flour?
When you say other flavorings, what do you use for that? Are there different extracts? Raspberry, for instance?
Best Recipe!
Hi love ur videos, haven't tried out Italian macaron method, neither hv i made french buttercream before. Wat worries me is dat i can't handle the eggy yolky smell, n even though u put vanilla seeds i think i would still find it eggy.. Wat are ur suggestions and is the egg yolk cooked in tbis buttercream with the syrup.. Thanks 😘
Hi Georgia! Will reducing sugar change the consistency of our batter?
Can’t wait to try this.. how would I do a gel filling instead of buttercream?
Macaroons are made with coconut and have chocolate drizzle. They were my gpas favourite cookie. They're similar to Flourentines but not so thin.
Macarons are basically meringue sandwich cookies. The name Macaron is short for Macaronage, which is the specific folding technique used to incorporate the meringue and almond mixtures together. French or Italian are the most popular and refers to which meringue was used. There's also a Swiss macaron, but that one isn't as common to find.
Hope that passes on the knowledge!! This was my first time on your channel and you now have a new follower!!🤩🤩
Thank you!!
THANK YOU!!
I love your videos! how do you store these and how long do they keep for?
You make it look so easy!! I’m going to attempt this and the meringue peeks 😁
If I make them how long will they both last for?
I wanted to make them two days before adding them as the decoration on a cake. Would that be ok?
Thanks so much!! x
I love your style of teaching! Are macarons better if you chill them for 24 hours after putting together so the texture is better? Also....I would love to see a Key Lime version! :)
Yes, the macarons mature and take on some of the flavour of the filling and the shells actually soften a bit.
What Kitchen Aid do you use? I want to buy one but I have no idea which is better. Thank youuuu!
loving your videos!! would the macaroons keep or do you have to eat the day you make then?
Hi, these look amazing and you make it look so simple that I really want to have a go 😁
Can I ask what model your kitchen aid is that you use on this video? I’ve wanted one for years, I’ve had a kenwood one but I think I want to go for a kitchenaid this time but I need one with a decent size bowl and yours looks like it’s a good size!
Anyway thanks so much for sharing x
I have the same size as hers pretty sure it’s a 4.8 litre size bowl xx
Can you use powder food colouring?
Hi Georgia, I was taught to first sieve the ground almonds & then weigh it.
That’s a good idea! The almond flour I have is so thick! Even when I put it in the food processor!
Hi Georgia, thanks so much for your video. I followed it today, but my macarons weren’t uniform in size and they cracked on the top. This was my first attempt but wondered if you could give me a tip? They did have the gooy centre and tasted good but they were almost thin. Thanks x
Am so glad I found your channel! How much water are you adding to the sugar before heating?
Hi Georgia! do these work with high altitude? Thank you.
Hi! I really love your videos, thank you so much for your tips :)
The buttercream is the same that you use for covering your cakes? Or you use a different recipe?
It's different - just released a video showing the buttercream I use for my cakes!
Thank you!
Great video. What you've actually made are Italian Macarons (based on making an italian meringue base).French macarons (the original, traditional french pastry/biscuit, are made using a french meringue base (ie, using caster sugar & egg whites only, ie no sugar syrup) and macaroons are a completely different biscuit, made from coconut and an eggwhite.
You are simply amazing, well detailed explanation. Thank you so much.
I love your channel! Thank you so much for explaining all these techniques so well and making it so fun to learn new recipes! These pink macarons look sensational. I wondered if you would be interested in making a salted caramel macaron video? They are my absolute favourite but I have no idea where to start with making them! Thanks again for all your wonderful and inspiring videos!
Thank you! Salted caramel macarons just require some salted caramel being added into the filling - I have a salted caramel video, be sure to check it out! x
Oh perfect, thank you!
Hi. How many ml of water do you use for the buttercream? Thanks!
I really love your videos...
Hi Georgia, I love your tutorials, thankyou so much, however could you tell me how you would store the Macarons, meringue kisses, cakes ect until needed. I take it that you dont make all of your toppers on the same day as making your cake. Also I live your sponge recipe, how long and how would I store it before decorating x
Georgia, do you turn on the fan in the oven?
I am trying these for the first time can I make them in advance and if so how long can I store them for till I fill them thanks you are fab xx
Really straight forwards and clear vid, I have a question what speed are you whisking the egg whites on and for how long before you add sugar syrup and then what speed do you turn it down to. Thanks so much
You want a medium - high speed to make sure they are whisked up enough before adding the sugar syrup - just make sure you don't ever whisk them otherwise they start to separate!
Hi Georgia, thank you for the detailed explanation. It's simple and easy to follow. what can I use as a substitute for ground almonds?
You can use other ground nuts :)
Millirue Marimo you can substitute with any other ground nut like pecan or hazelnut. I hope this pastry chef tip was helpful!
Thank you! Love this | Little Note: I would never put my finger in HOT syrup. That's a safety hazard... just thinking out loud lol
Recently discovered your channel and I love it! I've already saved the meringue kiss recipe and method to try for cake decoration 🙈🙈 would love to see seashell macarons also! Hoping to try this recipe although last time I made macarons they turned green in the oven! 😂😂 xxx
Oh gosh! Hopefully it will work this time!!
YUMMY
What if I have gas oven without air circulation ? What temperature should I use ?
Hi Geogia, I tried the macaroons for d very first time...how is it supposed to taste? chewy with that buttercream inside ...awesome? well I followed yr recipe to a T...but although it came they were all cracked at the top, the ones that didnt cracked were spread out...can u help ..I so wanna make this ..thanks
Hi Georgia, love your recipes. Please tell me, what is the brand of your stove?. I need something like that for my kitchen because I don´t have too much room in there. Thank you.
It is wonderful to listen to good explanation and looking to a beautiful face and spirit. Thank you for sharing💕💖💕💖💕
for how long it needs to bake in mins and what shd be the temperature of the oven
I'm soooooo glad I found your channel I was so delighted with the outcome of the macarons I made thank you so much
I'm going to try this tomorrow. I'll let you know how they came out❣
El Mundo De Vanessa So ?
Its been 1 year
The 30 Times thing is for French macarons and you're making Italian macarons. And it's true once you reach then the consistency is to what you want
Hi geogia, what do you do with your leftover macaron batter? do you pipe them and bake after the first tray of macaron is done?
Yes! I usually pipe all the mixture out onto separate trays and cook them one by one (some ovens allow more than one tray to cook at a time but best to play it safe!)
Thank you so much Georgia
I try to bake this macrons but I got soupy meringue after I add sugar syrup , why ?
Shahrzad Hajinoruzi hi! The reason you’re meringue was soupy was one of a couple reasons a: you had too much water in the sugar b: you didn’t whip the eggs enough before adding the sugar or c: you added to sugar too quickly
K, Georgia, I love to bake and rarely fail but I made these and mine hollowed out almost, like they were too baked?? Or I'm not sure what? Do you have any idea? I have failed at two things, these and eclairs, simple right? wrong, not for me. I would love some suggestions and I can either bake regular or convection (fan)
Hi Georgia, I tried your macaron and it’s 99.5% a success, I’m so pleased with it my only problem is the top is not 100% smooth, is there a trick you can share with me. Thank you so much tho. I’d like to try some of your cake recipes next time too. Keep baking 🥰
