Recipe for Parisian / Ladurée inspired macaroons.
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

After visiting Ladurée and having a snoop through my Nana's recipe collection, I was inspired to have a go at making my own macaroons.

(Makes a small batch of around 10 macaroons, multiply the recipe to make multiple colours and flavors.)

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Pour the egg white in to a measuring jug and mix in the food colouring and flavoring. Add the caster sugar and beat together with a fork. Place the measuring jug in a bowl of warm / hot water and continue to stir for 5 minutes, this should help the sugar to melt, giving the mixture a smooth consistency.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Mix together the almond meal and the icing sugar.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Add this to the egg mixture and mix well. The consistency should be thick but still runny.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Cover your baking tray with baking paper.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Use an icing bag to make small dots of batter on the baking tray (remember to make an even number).

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Repeat the previous steps for any other colour and flavor of macaroons you want to make.

    Bake the macaroons in an oven set at 140'C for 15 - 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them because they will burn quickly if you leave them in for too long.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    When the macaroon have cooled down, take one half and spread it with whatever filling you like. I used strawberry jam for my pink ones and lemon curd for my yellow ones.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    Place another macaroon half on top.

  9. Step 9

    Step 9

    Serve with a delicious cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!

I got a friend bring me Laduree Macarons last week, which I have been eating viciously (all 24 of them!). I haven't been so lucky making them though.
I'll try out your recipe! Wish me luck! :D

ps: I have the recipe for the rose petal butter cream, let me know if you would like to try it!
