- Ingredients for Ladurée Macarons
- 275 grams of ground almond
- 250 grams confectioner's sugar
- 7 egg whites
- 1 cup regular sugar
- Ganache (not Ladurée):
- 200 grams of bitter chocolate
- 125 grams heavy cream
- 50 grams butter
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Put the almond powder and confectioner sugar in the blender and mix it.
- Separate the egg whites, keeping one egg white separate, and using the yolks for another recipe.
- Beat the egg whites (both the 6 and the separate one in two bowls).
- Add the sugar ⅓ cup at a time to the egg whites.
- Slowly fold the egg whites + sugar into the confectioner sugar plus almond powder.
- When that's thoroughly mixed, add a half of the egg white that's separate to make it runnier.
- Spread wax paper over the baking sheets (3) and form little rounds, using a decorating bag.
- Tap the pan to let the batter settle in place, then wait 15 minutes before putting in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes and turn halfway if needed.
- Ganache:
- Heat the milk but take off just before boiling.
- Chop chocolate.
- Pour hot milk over the chocolate in a bowl and let sit for a minute.
- Stir gently until everything melts.
- Beat the chocolate-milk mixture, along with the butter and let it cool.
- Spread the ganache on the underside of the macaron, and top with another to make a sandwich.
