Learn how to add a touch of 'ooh la la' to your cooking with a macaron-making class! Macarons are a much-loved dessert among our French neighbours, and this class will teach you how to make these little delights in abundance.
If you've ever wandered past a French patisserie, you've probably come across their brightly coloured macarons, neatly stacked like a beautiful work of art. These lovely treats make great gifts when wrapped up, and are popular in France, especially in Paris's chic bakeries.
So, how do you make French macarons? The recipe is simple: egg whites, ground almonds, and powdered sugar. However, the tricky part is getting the consistency right, shaping them correctly, and baking them to perfection. A proper French macaron should have a round shape, the right height, and a slightly crispy exterior with a melt-in-the-mouth meringue that's just a little bit chewy. Crispy or chewy macarons are a big no-no for the chic Parisians.
Luckily, with these macaron classes in London, you'll learn a nearly fool-proof method of making magical macarons. During the class, you'll learn all the delicate tricks of patisserie while making mountains of macarons, you will also learn how to add fillings to the middle, like ganache, buttercream, or jam.
