Jam-Filled Macarons
Jam-Filled Macarons are a delightful French pastry that is perfect for any occasion. These sweet treats are made with almond flour, egg whites, and sugar, and are filled with your favorite jam. They are light, airy, and have a delicate crunch on the outside, with a soft and chewy center.
To make Jam-Filled Macarons, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup jam (any flavor)
To begin, preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the almond flour mixture, being careful not to overmix. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and have a slight golden color. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once the macarons are cool, spread a small amount of jam onto the flat side of one macaron, and sandwich it with another macaron. Repeat with the remaining macarons and jam.
Jam-Filled Macarons are a perfect dessert for any occasion, and they are sure to impress your guests. They have a delicate appearance, with a smooth and shiny surface, and a burst of color from the jam filling. The taste is sweet and nutty, with a fruity burst from the jam. These Jam-Filled Macarons are a perfect combination of flavors and textures, and are sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them.
