Macaron

A macaron is a sweet meringue-based confection made with white eggs, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. The name is derived from the Italian word macarone, maccarone or maccherone, the Italian meringue.

The “macaroon” is often mistaken as the macaron. Many have adopted the French spelling of macaron to distinguish the two items in the English language. However, this has caused confusion over the correct spelling. Some recipes exclude the use of macaroon to refer to this French confection while others think that they are synonymous.

So what is actually the difference between Macarons and Macaroons?

My very first Macaron

My first macaron was during my lesson with www.rohanijelani.com as usual during the class everything seems all right. Unfortunately a few time trying at home, I failed and turn up as not as expected. From the internet, I found there are various methods and tricks. Ultimately, the only way to make these at home is by practicing. Everyone’s oven is different, and the climate also plays a part. Fortunately, macarons are well worth the effort. They are challenging and scrumptious and adorable to look at.
