They might talk quietly at first because they're filming in their house, and don't want to bother their families. Then, later, when they have assigned studios, and the whole family is in on it, they can be as loud as they want. :P
I tried baking these when i was a beginner baker. Yes, a beginner with macaroons, they were PERFECT! Since then i've done a lot, LOT LOT LOT, of baking and some of your recipes look really tempting, but i never seem to find the time to make them. You were one of my first inspirations to get into baking, and possibly the next things i will bake are your red velvet cupcakes!
Listen, I was super cheap. I own a company and give my employees 20% bonuses for Xmas and spend $$$ on them for Xmas. I have high end designer shoes. I drive a beat up car. I refuse to buy sheets that aren’t at tj max. I swear, I’m so cheap with certain things that I asked my mom to buy me a magic bullet!! I never buy small/needed things. Anyhow, I finally caved and I bought a mixer. Amazon sells mixers at lower cost if u buy an open box. I got a 175$ mixer for 69$ bc it was open box. INVEST IN ONE. A mixer will come in handy for everything. I too use to have to stand there
Hi beautygirlizzy, this video has closed captions typed in. To turn them on look on the bottom of the video, the pause & volume settings are on the left and on the right you have 'hide annotations' and then 'captions' it looks like a white rectangle with a couple of black lines. You can even choose to have them translated into another language if you need.
Hi yoo6231 I would suggest getting an oven thermometer and checking that the oven temp is accurate, if you are getting a skirt instead of a foot it usually indicates that the oven temp is too low, which would also explain why they are not cooking in that time.
Hi giovanna elia, a small amount of liquid colouring is fine ie 1/2 a tsp but more than that and they won't work so you are going to get a very pale colour. IF that is really all you can get hold of you can boil it to evaporate off some of the water and concentrate it, let it cool and use that.
I enjoy the easy, relaxing instructing. I became a subscriber. Very good video without being annoying, more like a good teacher teaching her students and wanting them to succeed. Lovely.
Hi Draneica, two possibilities, 1. if you have a fan forced oven the fan can effect the back row of macarons, 2. when folding keep scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixture off your spatula because if you have a streak of under mixed mixture through your mix when you pipe it will effect those macarons.
Hi stephanie, you need to add you colour before you fold in your dry ingredients. When you are folding use a spatula rather than a spoon as it is gentler. Also watch the FAQ video, if you click on MACARONS int he description below the video it will take you to that playlist and you will find the video there.
This is one of the best macaron tutorial I have ever seen. When I started making macarons it was difficult because I never knew what I needed fixing, but thanks to you I know what I need to improve on. I really like how you added reasons why your macarons could be sticking to the paper or if they were too flat. Thank you so much for helping me make macarons! :)
Absolutely fantastic tutorial on how to make macarons. I love especially the trouble shooter advices at the end! I am French, I have been making macarons for 20 years and I have never seen a better tutorial than yours, so precise, concise et self explaining! Congratulations and THANK YOU!
This is the best Macaroon recipe I've ever seen. I now realized that by not rapping mine on the counter is a constant issue that may be contributing to me NOT having successful Macaroons! Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, i get a lot of questions about these lovely but tricky treats ... can i recommend watching this video as well which will probably help you lots :) Easy Macaron Recipe FAQ by Ann Reardon How To Cook That
Hi Ann, I have to make some cakes or biscuits for school for a project on Australia. Are there any typical flavour combinations in Australia? Or any popular recipes? Thank you
hi myssgerdy, hollow can be because of a drop in oven temp, if you take them out too early or open the oven often to check on them the middles drop when they are not yet done. Or from over whipping the whites and sugar, whip until can turn the bowl upside down and 2 minutes more only.
Hi Musicloverlilypads, an ice cream scoop would not really be helpful with this consistency of mixture. If you do not have a piping bag you can use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off.
Hi minhuyen vo, hollow shells can be from a couple of things 1.overmixed meringue try mixing until you can turn the bowl upside down and 2 minutes more only. 2. Undercooked centers - if you take them out of the oven before they are ready the inside will drop, the same thing can happen if you open the oven too many times to check on them and the oven temp goes down.
I made these today and for my first time ever I think they turned out so amazing. Love this recipe and I love seeing how much your channel has evolved in the past ten years! Keep being amazing Ann!
hi tiffany they can also crack if it has streaks of under mixed mixture, make sure during folding you scrape down the sides of the bowl and the spatula. If htat doenst fix it your oven may be unevenly heated you can get baking tray sthat are double with a gap in the middle that help to even out the heat.
hi ashley if you click in the description below the video to go to the blog post it is all there. Some people use grams, some ounces and others cups so it is easier to write it all down.
Hi Ann, I'm here to thank you for your tutorials bcz my macarons were a success for my first trial. I received tons of compliments for my macarons and my friends were raving about the texture of the shells. It wouldn't hv been possible without ur detailed explanation and vid tutorial. Thank you so much Ann! Looking forward to more of your amazing videos :)
Hi Draneica, I put one tray in at a time in the middle of the oven. If your oven is giving you grief you could try getting a new baking sheet, look for the ones the are double layered with a hollow space in the centre they help even out the heat.
Hi Ann, I just made these macarons today and they turned out amazing. Your recipe is full proof and the troubleshooting section at the end really helped me to get the consistency right. Please continue with your videos. I subscribed. Thanks.
Hi Cherie the white filing is just cream whipped until it is stiff, for ganache filling click on macaron playlist in the description below the video and there is some other macaron vids that show how to make the filling :)
Hi Sarah, Every mixer is different so it is easiest to whip until you can turn the bowl upside down and then for 2 minutes more only. This recipe whips more than other recipes but works well
Hi bunnyGini, for recipe quantities click on the link to the blog in the description below the video. Also watch the FAQ video, if you click on CAKE POP & MACARONS video playlist in the description below the video you will find it. In that video it shows that regular granulated sugar doesn't give good results.
Hi Ima, in order of best to worst for macarons 1 powdered, 2 gel, 3 liquid (only use a tiny bit 1 teaspoon of liquid colour is enough to ruin an entire batch)
They come out perfect for me everytime although I am quite a heavy baker in the kitchen I think it helps to know you're way around the kitchen with these
Hi Monica Moore, I depends on the size you pipe them, in the size i make then about 20 complete macarons, in a smaller size 3.7cm piped (larger when rapped on the bench) it made 25 whole macarons, or 50 halves
Hi ann, I've been trying this recipe several times. The first few times they came out cracked, even though i banged them on the counter very hard and a lot of times. I tried leaving them out for 20 mins and putting another tray both below and above the macarons while baking(i read that this helps distribute the heat more evenly), and it is better, but i still get several cracked ones around the sides( the ones in the center are usually fine). Another problem i have is the macarons not rising evenly. The macarons would tilt sideways and only have the foot on one side. Do you have any suggestions? I don't want to have to make a whole batch and only be able to use some of them.
I've made macarons before i found your channel and i've been through the macarons stick to the tray . Was glad u shared the troubleshooting . Would totally make it again next time ^^
Hi Parvan S, closed captions are typed in for this recipe, click on the little rectangle with lines on it in the bar just below the video and they will come up, you can choose what language you want them to display in. Alternatively go to the blog and choose the language you need form the translate bar across the very top of the page.
Thanks for this video. There are a lot of macaron/macaroon recipes on TH-cam but I haven't seen any with a troubleshooting guide included. Very well done!
love how macrons n be eaten any time of the year but i belive the best time to eat macrons is durring early spring or in December. But it is up to ya'll. :)
Hi Viriya, It will only become completely flat if the mixture is over-mixed. It should smooth out a little but not become flat. So if becoming flat you need to fold in the almond mixture less times.
i really like this video omg. this is the 5 times trying to make macarons and i couldn't figure out what went wrong and OMG at the end of your video you actually explained *^* ugh THANKS
Hi hannah, If you should be able to make these in 70 minutes, the only difficulty would be getting the ganache filling to set up, place it in a ziplock bag and put it flat in the fridge to cool faster so it is firm enough to pipe.
Hi twentythree84 I have gel colour which is much stronger than liquid colour I use the red and add three drops to make the pink. If you want bright red or blue then you need the powdered colours. Macarons always 'fade' in the oven.
Hi Mel, you dont have to leave them out with this recipe they can go straight in the oven but pipe all of them onto baking paper and bake one tray at a time. I use egg whites straight from the fridge
This video saved my wedding favors! I made chocolate and pistachio macarons for our wedding favors and they came out perfectly thanks to the troubleshooting portion of this video. I couldnt have done it with out the help! THANK YOU!
hi stevie yes you can use any finely ground nuts or seeds, or if you need a nut free alternative click on how to cook that to go to the channel and you will find the recipe there.
Hi hsmfan008, that is because the the cooked uncolored macaron shell is a yellowish brown so adding blue is giving you green. The solution is to add more blue, which means you will probably need powdered colour.
hi heytharbeb, 0:23 add your egg whites and sugar. This recipe does not need to sit on the bench, if you click on How To Cook That to go through to the channel there is a FAQ video there that explains lot so these questions with examples.
That is so helpful !! Thankyou so much !! Ive been trying to perfect my macarons but I've always used a liquid food colouring and this time i tried them with gel colouring and they turned out perfectly !!!
Hi Izzy, are you using a spoon or rubber spatula to fold? Rubber spatula is more gentle so you get more of a chance to fold in those lumps before it is over mixed. If it is running out of the bag it is definitely over-mixed.
It's incredible how can you tell so much information in such a short time. I really love your videos, because you do amazing things and help me saving time. Lots of kisses from Venezuela... we keep on fighting to get back our country, but we still have desserts
wow thanks for the troubleshoot section! very helpful. A lot of the times when something weird happens to my baking I have no idea why, I just need to change it up till I figure it out so wow thanks for the reference!
masrhmallowy is undercooked, hollow and broken - *mix your egg whites and sugar until you can turn bowl upside down without it falling out and then for 2 minutes more only *don't open the oven during cooking as this will cause the temp to drop and if you take them out before they are done the inside can drop leaving them hollow.
hi michelle8231, no just put them straight in the oven, but I only bake them one tray at a time so the second tray does sit on the bench waiting its turn for the middle spot in the oven.
Hi iampureneon, If it is taking an hour to sieve you must be using a very fine sieve, try getting one with bigger holes or the almond meal will take forever to sift. Are you leaving the meringue to sit while you sift? If so sift first. Are you using a rubber spatula to fold? That folds more gently than if you use a spoon.
I LOVED your video...Thanks so much for the trouble shooting advise. Please keep up the good work! I think you have a way of covering the things that people often ask about or stress over. Thank you for your insight. I think I will finally pull out a good back
Hi stephanie, it depends what you mean by beginners, if you mean this is the first time you've baked anything then I would start with the chocolate brownie recipe followed by peanut butter cupcakes and then watch the macaron faq video and give this one a go. Click on howtocookthat next to this comment to go to the channel and find those videos
hi yoo6231, check your oven temp is even, if not you can help even it out by using a hollow tray that allows air to circulate inside the ray rather than just a thin flat tray
Hi Sheila Novi, yes there is a nut free macaron video, if you click on the link to the playlist (which is just under your comment) it is video 4 in that playlist :)
Hi Evetehanimefreak, there can be a few different reasons 1 taking out of the oven too soon and the undercooked filling falls to the bottom 2 a drop in oven temperature often due to opening the oven too many times 3 overwhipping the eggwhites and sugar mis until you can turn the bowl upside down and 2 miniutes more only.
Hi Noa Hart, if you click on 'show more' below the video and then on CAKE POP and MACARON playlist there is a FAQ video there, watch that one too. It sounds like your shells are hollow is that right? If so mix the meringue bit just until the it is firm enough to turn the bowl upside down without falling out and then for 1-2 minutes more only (every mixer is a bit different). If still not perfect then check 1. The colouring, make it without any 2.The oven temp, use an oven thermometer
I first seen this video on another website ...when I tried to "like" it for you ...there was no like button...so I am sure others have this problem also...Love the end of the video about troubleshooting! thanks
Hi devilgirl32, beat on high speed until you can turn the bowl upside down without them falling out and then for 2 minutes more. They will be dry / very stiff peaks which gives you more time / folds to fold in your other ingredients without over-mixing it
Hi ciz4claire, if you take it out of the oven when it is not yet ready the inside tends to drop leaving it hollow. Make sure you are using non stick baking paper and leave the oven door closed until you can either smell the pleasant cooked macaron smell or they are a couple of them are just starting to brown.
It's funny how all you tubers start their channels very quiet, and then speak very loudly once it's been a few years 😂😂
I think it might be them getting a bettet microphone
goldogwolly its because they are not confident
Mia Rodriguez it's because they are not confident
I was already loud when I started 3 years ago and now I got louder and faster
They might talk quietly at first because they're filming in their house, and don't want to bother their families. Then, later, when they have assigned studios, and the whole family is in on it, they can be as loud as they want. :P

I attempted this and I don't have an electric mixer. Those egg whites. For ten minutes.
I no longer have arms.
Ciara Grace use a hand blender or anything that you use to mix without your hand

Yay, wonderful to hear that your macarons turned out so well, and that you're friends enjoyed them so much.
yes F1, they will store for a week in the fridge or a month in the freeser
I made macaroons and madly failed. they were flat, and stuck to the paper. this video helped tremendously, thank you.
Hi Carol, you can make the shells a week ahead and store them at room temp separated by non stick baking paper in an airtight container.
Hi beautygirlizzy, this video has closed captions typed in. To turn them on look on the bottom of the video, the pause & volume settings are on the left and on the right you have 'hide annotations' and then 'captions' it looks like a white rectangle with a couple of black lines. You can even choose to have them translated into another language if you need.
Hi yoo6231 I would suggest getting an oven thermometer and checking that the oven temp is accurate, if you are getting a skirt instead of a foot it usually indicates that the oven temp is too low, which would also explain why they are not cooking in that time.
Hi Cakelunatic, Icing sugar is just normal white sugar that has been ground super fine so it looks like a powder. You can use a blender to do this.
Hi giovanna elia, a small amount of liquid colouring is fine ie 1/2 a tsp but more than that and they won't work so you are going to get a very pale colour. IF that is really all you can get hold of you can boil it to evaporate off some of the water and concentrate it, let it cool and use that.

No... FRENCH macarons OR macaroons are the same thing JUST macaroons Or Macarons are made of coconut and condenscend milk
Bakerz Queen actually cedric is right
Hi Monica Moore, I depends on the size you pipe them, in the size i make then about 20 complete macarons, in a smaller size 3.7cm piped (larger when rapped on the bench) it made 25 whole macarons, or 50 halves

+Alexis Silver EXACTLY!!!!
macaroon has coconut in it
8BitBlizzardz Yep, I know
Maybe cause nobody cares. I knew there was a difference but never bothered correcting people cause they didn't really care.
If they include the word French before macaroon, then it is correct.
Thanks for this video. There are a lot of macaron/macaroon recipes on TH-cam but I haven't seen any with a troubleshooting guide included. Very well done!

Hi Viriya, It will only become completely flat if the mixture is over-mixed. It should smooth out a little but not become flat. So if becoming flat you need to fold in the almond mixture less times.
I think I've looked at every tutorial that exists on how to make macaroons and all of them use almond flour and I'm allergic to almonds😤😤😤
you obviously haven't seen this one :) th-cam.com/video/6bcwAoMIe38/w-d-xo.html

The English pronunciation of the word macaron is macaroon

wow thanks for the troubleshoot section! very helpful. A lot of the times when something weird happens to my baking I have no idea why, I just need to change it up till I figure it out so wow thanks for the reference!
masrhmallowy is undercooked, hollow and broken - *mix your egg whites and sugar until you can turn bowl upside down without it falling out and then for 2 minutes more only *don't open the oven during cooking as this will cause the temp to drop and if you take them out before they are done the inside can drop leaving them hollow.
hi michelle8231, no just put them straight in the oven, but I only bake them one tray at a time so the second tray does sit on the bench waiting its turn for the middle spot in the oven.
Hi iampureneon, If it is taking an hour to sieve you must be using a very fine sieve, try getting one with bigger holes or the almond meal will take forever to sift. Are you leaving the meringue to sit while you sift? If so sift first. Are you using a rubber spatula to fold? That folds more gently than if you use a spoon.
I LOVED your video...Thanks so much for the trouble shooting advise. Please keep up the good work! I think you have a way of covering the things that people often ask about or stress over. Thank you for your insight. I think I will finally pull out a good back
Hi stephanie, it depends what you mean by beginners, if you mean this is the first time you've baked anything then I would start with the chocolate brownie recipe followed by peanut butter cupcakes and then watch the macaron faq video and give this one a go. Click on howtocookthat next to this comment to go to the channel and find those videos
Fantastic. Only recipe that worked for me (your very detailed ingredients list is what helped me). Appreciate it!!!!!
hi yoo6231, check your oven temp is even, if not you can help even it out by using a hollow tray that allows air to circulate inside the ray rather than just a thin flat tray
Thanks Ann, it's a great video! It helped me to figure out what really went wrong from my last two trials. Finally, 3rd time I nailed it ..at last..
well done, persistence pays off with macarons :) LT TRAN
Hi Sheila Novi, yes there is a nut free macaron video, if you click on the link to the playlist (which is just under your comment) it is video 4 in that playlist :)
Hi Evetehanimefreak, there can be a few different reasons 1 taking out of the oven too soon and the undercooked filling falls to the bottom 2 a drop in oven temperature often due to opening the oven too many times 3 overwhipping the eggwhites and sugar mis until you can turn the bowl upside down and 2 miniutes more only.
Hi Noa Hart, if you click on 'show more' below the video and then on CAKE POP and MACARON playlist there is a FAQ video there, watch that one too. It sounds like your shells are hollow is that right? If so mix the meringue bit just until the it is firm enough to turn the bowl upside down without falling out and then for 1-2 minutes more only (every mixer is a bit different). If still not perfect then check 1. The colouring, make it without any 2.The oven temp, use an oven thermometer
I first seen this video on another website ...when I tried to "like" it for you ...there was no like button...so I am sure others have this problem also...Love the end of the video about troubleshooting! thanks
well done carmy, sounds like you are persisting and making good progress
the troubleshooting part is very very helpful! Thanks a lot!
THANK YOU !! Used this method to make green tea macaroons and it was a success! Baked for friends they love it :D
Hi Sumin. You can buy icing sugar from most supermarkets in the baking isle.
Hi devilgirl32, beat on high speed until you can turn the bowl upside down without them falling out and then for 2 minutes more. They will be dry / very stiff peaks which gives you more time / folds to fold in your other ingredients without over-mixing it
Hi ciz4claire, if you take it out of the oven when it is not yet ready the inside tends to drop leaving it hollow. Make sure you are using non stick baking paper and leave the oven door closed until you can either smell the pleasant cooked macaron smell or they are a couple of them are just starting to brown.
I had a macaroon for the 1st time a few weeks ago and now they're my favorite desert, can't wait to make & eat these!!!!!
Munkers Awesome *macaron, macaroons are COMPLETELY different things
madeline robertson yeah... I know that now but thx 4 correcting me
