They look like little pastry shop treats..
If mine turned out..yours will also..
They are as femininely dainty as can be~
They could be served at this shop and be so appropriate!
La Recette
I used 3 egg whites I let them sit out of the fridge ap 15 min
150 gr of ultra fine sugar
pinch of salt
a tsp of vinegar..
Rose Wilton food coloring.. gel..
I beat my egg whites in the KA.. slowly poured the sugar..added the pinch of salt and then the vinegar.. I used a small 1/4 inch wood stick..to dab some food coloring..
I had glossy stiff pale pink peaks..
I filled a pastry bag w/ a big funneled tip..
And made the meringues on my Silpat..
I baked on convection about 210 F.. for ap 1/2 hr and they were done.
I love these and can see my future having many colors:)
They kept their shape.. and taste just like I thought they would..
Magical~
A lovely, sweet ... and petite beginning to the New Year..
Footnote..I was asked about the tip I used..at the back you can see the regular tips we use..and at the front are my larger ones..I use a plastic snip off end bag..I have an accoutrement for the larger ones also but didn't use it..just snipped the bag..placed the tip..added the stiff meringue mixture and piped..I wish I knew how to use all these tips:) The round one at the front is for the next time I try Macarons.I am so in love with how they look..If you missed Julia's December posts..Go see:)You are in for a treat.Perfect macarons..all different and festive and beautiful~
I hope this helps.Bonne Chance~
i saw the wand first, then the food, its funny how i look for your details and always come away with a smile~

ReplyDeleteOh my, so pretty! I feel magical. Happy New Year, Monique. I just got back to the States last night after being for 2 1/2 weeks in Australia. I have a lot of catching up to do on your blog! I missed you.
ReplyDeleteHello! Thank you for stopping by and for your nice comment! I love these sweets, so girly and lovely... and the rose cup is a perfect addition for a stunning shot!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,
Monica.
Magical, indeed! You have no idea how much inspiration you bring to me! I am vowing for making more time for the things I love this year, and one big one is cooking!

A New Year treat fit for a fairy princess...I think that might be you!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

So sad - mine didn't turn out anything like your beautiful ones. What size tip did you use?
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much you all inspire me..
ReplyDeleteAnonymous..it is dark here now..tomorrow I will take a photo of my tip.It's not a regular one... It's a very large one ..the one I use to pipe mashed potatoes as rosettes..Many of the recipe blogs suggest a much longer baking time..but mine were done after that time..could that be your problem?
I will take a photo:) stay tuned!
Oooh, thank you! Mine were much smaller (and less shapely) but still very tasty - just not pretty like yours. Thank you again for responding to my distress. They baked up nicely in the convection oven. I *will* stay tuned. :-)
ReplyDeleteNana....thanks for your very kind words.
ReplyDeleteOn a fat note: I must make these and when I do and they attach to my . . .uh . . sides . . .I will just smile and thank you!
Happy New Year! Lylah
Happy New Year, Monique...your meringues are so enchanting! Once again we are on the same wavelength. I made meringues today and was going to post in the next few days!! Just amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to make magic...thank you. Sheer delight!

ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thank you for adding the photo of the tip. I will try again!

ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous. They make me want to play with meringue the rest of the day. Sadly, my tips are haphazardly jumbled into an old shoe box.
ReplyDeleteQuelles minions! I love the barely pink color too. Happy New Year!
