Macarons Recipe: Daring Bakers October Challenge • Shiny Cooking. Okay, fine, “macarons” Well, en français they’re called macarons. Silly Frenchies. Macarons were October’s Daring Bakers Challenge. I filled them with lime-colored peppermint buttercream, and decided they looked like little hamburgers, and since it’s that time of the year, they’re now officially Halloween Boo-Burgers. Yay! The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe. I must be a real hick, because I’ve participated in Daring Bakers challenges two months now, and I’d never heard of either month’s baked good. Turns out macarons aren’t those coconut cookie things. It’s quite easy to become obsessed with achieving the perfect feet.
Word among the Daring Bakers was that this particular macaron recipe was a bit finicky. So I decided to try a cocoa-flavored version. The traveling macarons We met up with Debi and several of her family and friends. Matcha Madeleines. I think most people would know by now that i really am a macha fanatic. i've pledged my undying love for it a million times and i just can't live without my daily strong dose of homemade macha latte, made possible with the immersion handheld blender. and while i love complex french/japanese gateaux and entremets, i adore simple french tea cakes like madeleines, financiers and caneles as well. at times when i just wanna make something simple, i usually go for madeleines and financiers instead of pound cakes, muffins or brownies. plus, my sweet friend claire gave me a really big pack of macha powder, so i just wanted to try it out :) and whats a madeleine without its characteristic bump?
