Common mistakes
  • Inaccurate water measurement.

  • Greasy bowl or tools.

  • Depositing shells too close to one another or directly on a tray without cookie sheets or silicone tray liner. 

What is the baking process?  Each carton contains a package of  our single step macaron baking mix as well as a tasty Swiss buttercream filling mix. All you need is a stand or handheld electric mixer.   Simply add water, mix, pipe and bake to make the macaron cookie shells.  The buttercream is almost as simple:  add hot water, whip to make stiff meringue, fold in room temp unsalted butter and whip.   Food coloring and flavoring can be added at any time.   

Baking instructions for the shells:  

  • Empty cookie mix into mixer bowl & add food coloring.
  • Add 2 ounces (1/4 cup) water at 122°F (include any flavoring).
  • Mix at low speed for 1 minute, then 3 minutes at medium speed.
  • Pipe in 1 inch rounds. Recommend using silicone tray liner.
  • Tap tray to flatten (this step is optional)
  • Let rounds rest for 15 minutes, bake at 300°F for 15-16 minutes.
  • Let cookies rest and cool down completely before handling.

What is in the box?  Buttercream mix and Macaron Baking mix.  Your macaron shells will be cream in color.  A variety of color and flavor variations are possible.  We recommend the Angel Bake powdered food coloring set for best results.  

How many cookies can I bake?    Twenty four 1.75-2 inch macrons.  Addition of food coloring and flavoring is not necessary.  Product tastes and looks great as is.

Is the product certified and tested to be gluten free?  Yes.  Our factory maintains a gluten free process and production samples are tested by an independent lab.  We’ve avoided using chemical preservatives, fillers, anti clumping agents, flavorings or coloring.  This mix contains less sugar than most recipes call for, hence it is less crusty/brittle and definitely not as sweet as traditional recipes.

What equipment do I need?    Stand mixer (recommended) with whisk attachment to make the buttercream, paddle attachment for the shells, pastry bag with a ¼ inch tip, two baking trays lined with double layered baking sheets or silicon mat.   Hand mixer instruction are on the box as well.

What is meant by “firm” peaks?  Meringue can be whipped to a soft, firm or stiff consistency.  When soft, meringue barely holds its shape when whisk is lifted, a firm peak holds it’s shape but curls down when whisk is held upwards.  Stiff Meringue holds shape and doesn’t curl when whisk is lifted.

How do I measure water precisely?   Use a digital scale.  60 grams or 2 ounces.

How do I measure water temp and why does it need to be at 122°F?  The best way to measure the water temp is to use a digital meat thermometer.   Measure temp while the water is being heated.  Stop at around 122.  The Angel Bake Macaron mix uses an “all in” mix approach.  As such, it contains egg whites and the best temp to hydrate powdered egg whites is 122°F 

Oven baking considerations:  Heat oven to 330 and back down to 300 after loading in trays. 

Why did my shells crack or mushroom?  Batter was too moist and the surface hadn’t dried enough to be baked in a conventional oven.  This will not happen with convection oven as the circulating air will quickly dry out the surface.

Shelf life?  The mix has a two year shelf life from the date of manufacturing.   Baked shells can be kept in a refrigerator for 10 days without changing taste and texture.  Shells can be frozen for several months.  Enjoy your macarons at room temp.  This can take 1-2 hours. 

Do I need to add any flavoring?  The shells taste great without flavoring.  In general, buttercream flavoring filling is adequate. 

Can I bake multiple trays at once? Yes,  two trays center and top shelf.  Swap tray positions partway through is a good idea.
