Taako’s Elderflower Macarons

As it may be glaringly obvious now, we started listening to The Adventure Zone on the drive down to Dragon Con. This in turn has inspired us to start D&D ourselves…we may have made a grave mistake. D&D is like that nerdy precipice where - once you go over - there’s no going back. We’re all lost causes once you start rolling those dice and making perception checks.

Recipe is below the cut.

-MJ & K

Makes about 2 dozen filled cookies. 

Cookie:

200 g confectioners (powdered) sugar

100 g fine almond flour

120 g room-temperature egg white (3 eggs worth)

1/8 tsp salt 

¼ tsp cream of tarter

40 g sifts granulated sugar

pink food coloring

Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar into a bowl. Set aside.

using an electric or hand-mixer, whisk together the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until the eggs are foamy, then slowly incorporate the sugar and food coloring. You want this mixture to be a very vibrant color, as the color tones down during baking. Beat on a high speed until the egg whites become glossy and hold a stiff peak, becoming a thicker mass on the inside of the whisk. 

Add the dry goods to the stiff egg whites. Using a rubber spatula begin folding the dry goods into the egg whites in a folding pattern. Gently fold until the batter becomes smooth and ribbon-like, where if you scoop some batter onto the spatula it drips off the utensil in one long, solid ribbon. 

Transfer the batter into either a piping bag with a ½ inch tip or a plastic bag with the tip cut off, and pipe onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone mat. The cookies should be piped about 1 ½ inches in diameter and about an inch apart. Once they are piped, do not go back and add more batter to smaller cookies, it creates bubbles that crack the cookies while baking. Once piped, firmly tap the baking sheet against your counter to release an air bubbles. Allow these cookies to sit for about an hour, until the shell hardens.   

While the cookies are setting, preheat your oven to 325° F (163° C).

Once the batter no longer feels tacky and is firm to the touch, bake the cookies (one pan at a time) for 15 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes. The cookies should have formed a bubbly ‘foot’ on the bottom.

Elder flower Frosting:

½ cup butter, softened

1 ½  cup powdered sugar

1 T. lemon juice

1 T. Elder flower liquor or concentrate

Pinch of salt

Beat the butter and powdered sugar with until they are incorporated, and then add the elder flower, juice, and salt and continue to beat until fluffy. (but be careful, the frosting has the potential to spray a bit). 

Once the cookies have cooled, pipe some frosting onto the underside of once cookie with a piping bag, and sandwich with another cookie.,

ELDERFLOWER MACARONS AND MUSINGS ON THE SUBJECT

My last macaron post was on August 15th, so the clock was ticking for another batch of these babies I am still obsessed with. Keep in mind I have two more batches ready to blog about. so if you are also a macaron-lover, stick around.  Once again, I used my default recipe from Craftsy although I’ve been playing with the formula from Philip (at Baking Fanatic) that has calls for less sugar.
