My <strong>French macaron recipe<\/strong> uses <strong>culinary lavender<\/strong> for a gentle floral note and a simple <strong>vanilla buttercream<\/strong> so the flavor stays clean and elegant. I grind the lavender extra fine and keep the color a soft whisper of purple so they look as dreamy as they taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get the feel for <strong>macaronage<\/strong> (French term for the process of folding the almond flour into your meringue), you will be whipping out <strong>bakery-style macarons<\/strong> on repeat. I love that they are a make-ahead treat that actually gets better after a rest in the fridge, and they are a naturally <strong>gluten-free dessert<\/strong> everyone can enjoy. Perfect for tea time, showers, or a little just because gift from your kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\"

Discard coarse bits so your shells bake smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whip the meringue<\/strong>: Beat egg whites to soft peaks, then slowly rain in granulated sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form (see image below of what the stiff peaks should resemble). Beat in vanilla and a tiny dot of gel color if using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Macaronage time<\/strong>: Fold the dry ingredients into the meringue. Stop when the batter flows in a slow ribbon and you can draw a figure 8 that melts back into itself within about 10 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pipe and rest<\/strong>: Pipe 1.25 to 1.5 inch rounds on silicone mats or parchment. Tap the tray to pop bubbles and use a toothpick for any stubborn ones. Rest until the tops look matte and no longer sticky to the touch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake to feet<\/strong>: Bake until the shells rise with pretty feet and the tops do not wobble when gently nudged. Cool completely before filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fill and mature<\/strong>: Sandwich with vanilla buttercream. Chill in an airtight container 12 to 24 hours so the centers soften and the flavor blooms. Bring to room temp before serving for the best texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/earl-grey-macarons-inprocess-1.jpg\" alt=\"stiffed peaks egg whites for making macarons\" class=\"wp-image-23693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/earl-grey-macarons-inprocess-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/earl-grey-macarons-inprocess-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/earl-grey-macarons-inprocess-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">David's Macaron Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Weigh everything:<\/strong> Grams keep macarons consistent every time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sift twice:<\/strong> Fewer lumps equals smoother shells.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do the ribbon test:<\/strong> The batter should flow slowly, not runny. Take a scoop of the batter, then let it fall into the bowl. It should slowly cascade down, as if it were a thick ribbon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch the rest:<\/strong> Humidity affects rest time.
