中文：抹茶马卡龙

Yes, I am so obsessed with macarons and I always try to perfect my recipe. O (∩_∩) O~

Through experiments, I make some tiny modifications to my previous macaron recipe. A little bit change makes huge difference in the finished products. You can see in the picture that the feet and the skirts improve a lot.

The matcha powder I bought just arrived. So I make a batch of matcha macarons.

Ingredients:

2 large egg whites
110 g powder sugar
45 g granulated sugar
54 g almond flour
8 g matcha powder (super fine green tea powder)
a pinch of cream of tartar

Direction:

Combine powder sugar, matcha powder and almond flour. Pour the mixture into food processor.

Run the process for about 10 seconds.

Shift the flour mixture through a flour shifter or strainer.

Discard any big almond pieces.

Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat the egg whites with an electric whisk.

Beat at low speed for about 1 minute. Switch to medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes. And then beat at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Add sugar in three batches in between. Stop beating when the stiff peak forms.

It takes about 5 to 6 minutes beating time for the egg whites to form stiff peaks.

Add shifted almond flour mixture.

With a rubber spatula, gently fold the flour mixture into egg whites.

Fold it gently until the batter can fall smoothly like a silky ribbon.

Prepare a 14 inch decorating bag with Wilton NO. 12 tip. Use a wide mouth drinking glass to help the bag to stand up straight which will make it so much easier to pour the batter.
