Afternoon Tea Time x
In the spirit of French Bastille Day this Saturday 14th July, here’s one of our favourite afternoon tea treats! Best enjoyed with a jasmine tea (or a glass of Moet!)
Recipe adapted from Womans Weekly Macaron & Biscuits
Raspberry Macarons
Ingredients:
3 Egg Whites
1/4 C Caster Sugar
Pink Food Colouring
1 1/4 C Icing Sugar
1 C Ground Almonds
1 T Raspberry Puree
1 T Icing Sugar (extra)
1/4 C Cream
150g White Chocolate (chopped coarsely)
1 T Raspberry Jam (warmed, sieved)
Method:
Line two baking trays with baking paper (you can stick the paper to the tray using some macaron batter).
Beat egg whites in a small bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add caster sugar and a few drops of colouring, beat until sugar dissolves; transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Fold in sifted icing sugar ground almonds and raspberry puree (using a spatula), in two batches
Spoon mixture into piping bag fitted with 2cm plain tube icing tip. Pipe 4cm rounds about 2cm apart onto trays.
Tap trays on bench so macarons spread slightly.
Dust macarons with extra sifted icing sugar; stand 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 150 degrees C.
Bake macarons for about 20 minutes. They should have risen a little and have “feet” on them (that’s the base of the macaron)
Leave to cool on trays.
Once completely cooled, sandwich macarons with fresh raspberry jam
Happy Bastille Day! Enjoy x
