Let’s embrace the holiday spirit and get started!

Macaronage technique

When preparing macaroons, carefully mixing almond flour with sugar into the snow is an essential moment of the entire process.

And how to do that?

1. Pour half of the almond mixture into a bowl and add the snow.
2. Using a silicone spatula, start mixing the mixture.
3. Once the dough comes together, but you still see dry spots, add the other half of the mixture and mix again.
4. Now you can start the technique called “macaronage”.
5. During “macaronage”, occasionally turn the bowl and use a spatula to push the dough against the bottom and sides of the bowl.
6. Gradually expel the air from the mixture by moving it as if you were “smoothing” the snow down with a trowel.
7. This will make the dough more liquid, shiny, and smooth without lumps of snow.
8. Clean the spatula occasionally and thoroughly combine all the dough parts.
9. Repeat about 50 times.

The batter consistency should behave like flowing lava when you have the right batter consistency. Lifting the spatula from the dough should run down slowly and form a fine lace. It is important not to overmix the dough as it will become too runny.
