Instructions
 

Macaron Shells

  • Before you start, set all the ingredients ready and set the piping bag with a large round tip.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Measure out all the ingredients and set aside
  • Sieve the powdered sugar and almond flour together and keep them aside.
  • Double boil the granulated sugar and egg white. Whisk the egg white and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes frothy.
  • While double boiling makes sure that the bottom of the vessel is not touching the simmering water.
  • With an eggbeater whisk the mix for 30 seconds until it becomes fluffy. Now raise the speed to high for a few minutes and form stiff peaks.
  • You can make sure it is a stiff peak when you pull the whip up, the peak should be stiff with a bend in the top.
  • Put the sieved sugar and almond flour mixture into the stiffly whipped compound.
  • Now, fold the mixture gently in the shape of the letter J using a spatula.
  • Add the food coloring and mix until combined.
  • Fold until the batter is at thick and flowing consistency and looks glossy and smooth.
  • Don’t overfold the mixture as it becomes runny consistency.
  • When you hold the spatula with the batter and it flows slowly but effortlessly, then it is the required consistency of the batter.
  • Now transfer the mixture to the piping bag.
  • Pipe the batter gently on the parchment paper in a circle shape for 3 seconds and pull it twisting slightly.
  • After piping does tap the sheet pan on the counter a few times. This is done to remove the air bubbles from the batter. You can make use of a toothpick to break the air bubbles on the surface of the batter. Air bubbles are removed to prevent the macaron shells from cracking.
  • Leave the tray until the macaron batter is dry for 20 – 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F and bake the tray.
  • After baking for 5 minutes rotate the tray so that every portion will get equally baked.
  • Bake it for 15 – 20 minutes until the macarons appear in deep color.
  • After baking if you still feel the soft portions of macaron, bake it again for 5 minutes.
  • After it's done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. By the time you can make the fillings.

Blackberry Jam

  • In a container mix the blackberries, maple syrup (or sweetener you prefer), and lemon juice. Over medium heat cook, it stirring. Using a spoon smash the cooked blackberries and combine the mixture thoroughly.
  • Combine the corn starch and cold water in another bowl.
  • When the blackberry mixture is boiled and reduced a little, add the corn starch mixture to the blackberry.
  • Continue to boil the mixture stirring until it starts to thicken.
  • Pass this mixture through a strainer and strain it completely so that only the seed is remaining in the strainer.
  • Let the jam cool. Cover it with a plastic wrapper and place it in the fridge.

Almond Buttercream:-

  • Sieve the powdered sugar and almond flour and set aside.
  • Beat the butter at medium speed for 1 minute. Now turn off the beater and add sieved powder and milk.
  • Beat the mixture at low speed until it is well combined. Then turn speed to medium and beat till the cream is fluffy.
  • Add almond extract and beat for 30-45 seconds.
