ref : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroon

A macaroon (/mækəˈruːn/ mak-ə-roon) is a type of light, baked confection, described as either small cakes or meringue-like cookies depending on their consistency. The original macaroon was a "small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds"^[1] similar to Italian or Moroccan amaretti.

The English word macaroon and French macaron come from the Italian maccarone or maccherone. This word is itself derived from ammaccare, meaningcrush or beat,^[2] used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient.

Most recipes call for egg whites (usually whipped to stiff peaks), with ground or powdered seeds, generally almonds or nuts. Alternatively, coconuts, aseed, can be used. Almost all call for sugar. Macaroons are sometimes baked on edible rice paper placed on a baking tray.

ok that is the definition...and before knowing the meaning of the word, eventhough i am a cooking baking lecturer...hahahha...my friend and i planned to prepare the macaroon coz we dont have a class since it was semester break...(it happened last oct last year...)...then, the next day, we bought the simple ingredients to prepare it...

it just a white egg, castor sugar, icing sugar, grounded almond...and peanut butter as the filling...

and the utensil that we need is : mixing bowl, wooden spoon, silicon mat, tray, pipping bag, nozzle, needle and anything basic utensil for baking...

ok let proceed to the method of cooking:

1. beat castor sugar and  egg white until the texture become harder and the mixture become stiff...just like this...using a high speed...ok???

 2. put aside the 1st mixture then, sieve castor sugar and almond properly...

3. using wooden spoon, add slowly the dry ingredient into the mixture and mixed it well.

then the mixture and add color...the color???depend on u...u can choose any color u want... then put the colored mixture into piping beg with nozzle or not, both can be used then pipe in into silicon mat...

ok...what would u do with the needle???u need it coz ull poke all the air bubble at ur unbake macaroon...after u pipe it, rest it for at least one hour to create the shell...after one hour, it is ready to bake at temperature around 120-140'c for about 20-40 minute depend on the size... after u bake it, u can pipe the filling in between two piece of macaroon shell then combine it...just like a burger...

here we are...our home made macaroon....

i packed few pieces of it and gave to my bb and friends and seem like they really like it...so anyone interested to try my macaroon, let me know...hehehhe...

peace no war...

moca juju...
