Macaron Diaries: Green Tea Macarons
November 29, 2013In search of the perfect macaron recipe... experimenting with different methods and learning from mistakes.
First attempt: Green Tea Macarons with Green Tea Buttercream
There are feet! but shells are domed and puffy with a tip.
Puffy mini burgers.. but the taste is there!
Recipe adapted from Orange Bakery: Video
Buttercream recipe from Martha Stewart
Ingredients
80g Confectioner sugar
50g Almond powder/flour
16g Sugar
40g Egg White
Matcha powder
Shells
Taste: chewy texture, tastes like a macaron! Could have more flavor, right now has more egg-white/almond taste than green tea
Appearance: batter is grainy; puffy, domed shells– undermixed batter
Buttercream
Taste: too sweet, too heavy
Verdict: appearance wise could definitely be improved – learned that the domed shells were due to undermixing during the macaronage process. Taste-wise is good; actually tastes like a macaron!
