Hello Kitty Macarons
I learned from my instructor Crystal Kuek, it is a Italian Macarons recipe.
Ingredients:
Group 1 - Ground almond 50g
Ground Hazelnut 50g (I used all 100g almond)
Icing sugar 100g
Egg white 37g
Group 2 - Egg White 37g
Caster sugar 10g
Group 3 - Caster sugar 100g
Water 33g
Method:
1) Mix all group 1 ingredient except egg white first with a spoon. Then add in egg white to form a paste. Cover and put aside.
2) In a pot, place group 3 together and heat it under low/med heat. Do not stir the syrup while heating. With a thermometer, measure the temp of the syrup when it is boiling and once it has reaches 110 degree, begin to whisk up group 2. At the same time, lower the temp of the syrup.
3) Using a whisk, whisk up the egg white till foamy and add in sugar and mix lightly. Whisking must be fast as the sugar syrup is still cooking at this process.
4) When the sugar syrup reach 118 degree, pour the hot syrup carefully into group 2 using low speed. When all syrup has been added in, increase the speed to max high speed and whisk till meringue has cooled down.
5) Gradually fold half of the meringue into group 1 mixture, then fold in another half. Ensure all the mixture is well folded.
6) Fill the batter into piping bag with nozzle 2A and pipe onto paper lined baking tray. Pipe a round circle then use tooth pick to pull the ears. Bake it at 130 degree for 20 min.
7) After bake and when it cool down, use edible marker to draw the eyes and nose.
Note: for about 10 min, feet will form, if no, then have to adjust temp higher.
