Method

9 steps · 45 min

01
Process Dry Ingredients
Combine the icing sugar, almond meal, and macha powder in a food processor. Give it a few quick pulses to ensure everything is evenly mixed, then sieve the mixture to remove any lumps.
02
Whip Egg Whites
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the 40 grams egg white with 3 drops of lemon juice (or a pinch of salt) until soft peaks form. The meringue should be glossy but still gently slump when you lift the whisk.
03
Add Caster Sugar
Gradually add the 30 grams caster sugar in 3 lots, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks that hold their shape when you lift the whisk.
04
Fold Dry Ingredients
Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the meringue. Use a spatula to scrape from the bottom and fold over, rotating the bowl as you go. Aim for a smooth, flowing batter that falls off the spatula in a thick ribbon, but don't overmix; usually, this takes no more than 40 folds.
05
Pipe Macaron Shells
Transfer the macaron batter to a piping bag. Snip off about 2 cm from the tip of the bag, then pipe 2 cm dollops onto parchment-lined baking pans. Leave a little space between each one.
06
Dry the Shells
Leave the piped macaron shells to rest at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours. This allows the tops to dry out and form a slight crust, which is crucial for developing the characteristic 'feet' when they bake.
07
Bake Macarons
Preheat your oven to 150 °C. Bake the macarons for about 12 minutes, or until the shells are firm and the 'feet' have formed at the base.
08
Cool Macarons
Once baked, leave the macarons in their pans for a few minutes to set up. Then, gently transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before filling.
09
Fill Macarons
Fill the cooled macaron shells with your favorite filling. A simple chocolate ganache pairs particularly well with the macha flavor.
