Grand Macaron Delicieux Une

Ingredients:

• 200g almond flour
• 200g powdered sugar
• 150g granulated sugar
• 150g egg whites (aged for at least 24 hours)
• Food coloring (optional)
• 200g unsalted butter, softened
• 200g powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the meringue, being careful not to overmix. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and gently fold until evenly incorporated.
5. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaron.
6. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to form a skin.
7. Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and lift easily from the parchment paper. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
8. In the meantime, prepare the buttercream filling. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
9. Once the macarons are completely cooled, pair them up according to size. Pipe or spoon a small amount of buttercream onto the flat sides of half of the macarons, then sandwich them together with the remaining halves.
10. Store the macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the texture to become soft and chewy.
