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.
Sarah uses a basic macaron recipe by Adriano Zumbo which uses the Italian method. You can find the recipe here.ย The secret to this recipe is thatย 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.
What are you planning for your Christmas menu? Are you like us and start with the desserts first?
I am just curious, is this website food only?? I love crafts and am I in the wrong place??
Thanks!
