Supply List
-- Required Equipment List: Stand Mixer is preferred, however, you can use a hand mixer with proper size, heatproof bowl Kitchen Scale (with GRAM measures) Bowls of various sizes Sifter or small hole sieve Piping bag with #11 or #12 tip Cookie Sheet(s) Parchment paper or Silpat mat(s) Macaron Template (provided) You will need a small saucepan for heating sugar syrup and a candy thermometer Required Ingredients Almond Flour Fine or Caster Sugar(s) Confectioners/icing Sugar Egg Whites Fillings: Can contain: Milks, Chocolates, Fruits, Butter creams etc. *Not Required But Very Helpful: Oven thermometer - Each oven is different and sometimes they bake at the wrong temperature; different from the one that was set. It’s really important to bake the shells at the proper temperature to prevent the macaron shells from cracking or drying (too high temperature), undercooking (too low temperature), etc.
