French Macarons with Non-Hollow Shells

Please, Turn on the caption for details. Recently, someone asked for French Macarons.This time, the video is only for french macaron shells which have "No Hollows". It was the most successful method I have ever made.Of course, there are many macaron know-hows. But, if you follow this way, you will succeed also. For perfect macarons, I hope you will follow my method exactly (Ingredients, shell size, oven temperature).Even with a slight change, it can come out the different results.

INGREDIENTS:

• 60g Almond flour (superfine)
• 60g Icing sugar
• 43g Egg White
• 43g Sugar
• Food coloring: Déco'Relief
• Shell size: 4cm in diameter after piping.
• Convection oven: Preheat 150 ℃ for 20 minutes
• Bake at 150 ℃ for 7 minutes + 140 ℃ for 5 minutes
• Conventional oven: Preheat 150 ℃ for 20 minutes
• Bake at 150 ℃ for 12-13 minutes

METHOD :

If your almond flour is not superfine or homemade almond flour, mix 57g of almond flour (95%) with 3g of cornstarch (5%).

Grind with Icing Sugar in the food processor or food chopper 6 times 3seconds each.

Cornstarch helps shells to have no hollows. You will not feel a different taste because of that.

And then, you should add 2 grams of egg white more in this recipe for the moisture. And 2g of more sugar also.

Egg whites that I used were not aged.

It is better to use the meringue of the same temperature at 18 ~ 20 ℃ every time.

Then you will always get the same consistency.

Don't forget to beat the perfect meringue!

The meringue is all for macarons. Please, watch the video for details.

I started beating egg whites on medium speed (level 3) of my Revegen mixer or Kenwood mixer (300w).

I use the SMEG oven.

The temperature that I suggested is very correct for this recipe. But it depends on ovens as you know.

If your macarons still have the hollow in the upper side, the problem will be solved by increasing the temperature to + 10 ℃.

To avoid browned shells, bake for 7 ~ 8 minutes at increased temperature, and then lower it 10 ~ 20 ℃ and bake for 5 ~ 6 minutes.
