Of course, something so delish isn't necessarily a piece of cake. I've made them every Monday for the past few weeks, and I think I finally almost have them right. First time, I overbaked them, second time I underbaked them so (of course) this time I think I have it just about right. So naturally I had to take pictures of my little amazing creations. :)
In the course of making them, we've found that at least for us, the Raspberry and Blackberry are our favorites (of course, they're colored to represent the flavors- and who wouldn't like pink and purple??)- I tried espresso but for some reason these really are just the best. But you all are entitled to your own opinions- I'll just pig out on these and you all can have your gazillion flavors of macarons.
I didn't feel like typing up the recipe today- because the recipe is provided on this site. But really what you need to do is get the cookbook that the recipe is from- The Bouchon Bakery Cookbook.
So here you all are- you're completely free to drool over your keyboard.
Amazing! These look like bites of heaven clouds. So, the Bouchon cookbook: isn't that the Paris "cafe" that makes the pastries that Starbucks is now carrying? I've been spending a lot of time working in Starbucks lately, and the name sounded familiar….
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is La Boulange that is providing Starbucks with some baked goods- but I couldn't be sure. :)
DeleteThey're just SO pretty!! I've never had a macaron before. This is what you need to make for us next time. :-D Pretty please.
