Pink Vanilla Macarons

Vanilla Macarons by A Spoonful of Sugar

Are you starting to plan your Christmas menu? We are working on our list of Christmas desserts. We love to have a range of sweet treats as part of our dessert buffet and always have some gluten free options available. Macarons are a delicious gluten free treat. Sarah has been perfecting her macrons recently.

Here is a batch that she made this week – Vanilla macarons, coloured a pretty rose pink, and filled with vanilla buttercream. They are so delicious…. A perfect treat to have with a cup of tea.Vanilla Macarons by A Spoonful of Sugar

Sarah uses a basic macaron recipe by Adriano Zumbo which uses the Italian method. You can find the recipe here. The secret to this recipe is that a sugar syrup at the right temperature is incorporated into the egg whites while they are being beaten. This seems to make allteh difference in making perfect macarons.

    Don’t they look delicious!? And such pretty photos too! ( I don’t care if it isn’t crafts! Cooking is a craft, isn’t it? It seems there is an element of science to cooking! )
