In celebration of two things- Halloween and the San Francisco Giants winning the 2012 World Series, I made these fun, orange macarons. Tomorrow is the World Series Victory Parade in San Francisco, and for those who are going to watch it, be safe! And for those going out for Halloween, have fun!
Macarons:
115 g almond flour (Trader Joe’s)
200g powdered sugar
90g egg whites
30g powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together. Discard any lumps.
2. In a mixer, whisk egg whites. Once the whites become foamy, stream in 30g of powdered sugar a little at a time. Whisk on high-speed to a stiff peak and until whites are dried out. It should form a stiff ball of meringue.
3. Add dries to the meringue. With a spatula, quickly mix to incorporate the dries and the meringue.
4. Start to fold the mixture to deflate the batter. Be careful not to over fold; otherwise the batter becomes too runny.
5. Transfer batter to a piping bag with a fitted tip.
6. Pipe 1-inch rounds onto silpat-lined sheet pan.
7. Let rest for at least one hour before baking. Bake at 300F for 10-12 minutes. Macarons are done when they come off the silpat without sticking.
what did you use for the filling??
