Preparation of gluten-free macarons

The FunCakes mix for macarons is a simple baking mix that has been specially developed for making gluten-free macarons. With just 300 g, perfect homemade macarons can be conjured up in no time at all. Using the FunCakes macaron mix is simple and straightforward. All you need is egg whites at room temperature and the baking mix. Beat the egg whites until stiff and then carefully fold in the mixture until the perfect consistency is achieved. You can also use egg white powder for the egg whites. Mix this with water according to the egg powder instructions to get the right amount of egg white for your macarons. You can then whisk it until stiff and carefully mix it into the macaron mixture. 

Use a piping bag with a perforated nozzle to pipe even circles onto the macaron mat. Then leave the macarons to rest for about 2 hours to dry. Make sure that the humidity is not too high. This creates the typical "skin" that is so important for macarons. Then bake them in a preheated oven until they are slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The macarons should be baked at 140 °C hot air or 130 °C (top/bottom heat). Make sure to preheat the oven well beforehand.

Add color to the mixture as desired. This is how you can easily make colored macarons. For example, with the gel colors from FunCakes. Always use paste or gel colors. These colors do not change the consistency of the mixture. Powder colors would also be an option. However, these fade a little during baking. This gives your creations a personal touch. And best of all, the baking mix is guaranteed gluten-free - ideal for anyone with a gluten intolerance. After baking, leave the macarons to cool completely before assembling them with the fillings.

Decoration

You can let your creativity run wild when decorating your macarons. Whether with colored powder, edible glitter or edible flowers, design your macarons to suit your taste. They look particularly beautiful if you color them in different pastel shades. The result is a colorful, elegant dessert that will delight everyone. It is even more elegant with edible flowers or small sprinkles as a topping. This not only gives your macarons a great look, but also adds extra flavor. It's best to add the decorations to the decorated circles before they dry. That way, they are sure to hold. Use different techniques and ideas to turn your macarons into little works of art. Make sure that the decorations are bake-proof and do not melt when they bake in the oven. 

Fillings

The filling is what makes your macarons really special. Whether classic with chocolate or vanilla or a little more unusual with raspberry, pistachio, coffee or lemon. Anything you like is allowed! A simple chocolate ganache (made from cream and chocolate) is quick to make and works wonderfully. Fruit jams, butter creams or other flavored fillings are also great options. You can also combine different flavors. For example, lemon with basil or raspberry with dark chocolate. This allows you to create your very own taste experience. You can also color the fillings however you like. With a little imagination and experimentation, your macarons will be unmistakable.

Storing the finished macarons

To keep your macarons fresh and delicious, you should store them in an airtight container in the fridge. This will help them retain their delicate texture and prevent them from drying out. Before serving, it's best to leave them at room temperature for around 30 minutes - this allows them to develop their full flavor. If you are baking in advance, you can also freeze the macarons. Wrap them carefully in cling film and place them in an airtight freezer container. They will keep for several weeks in the freezer. Simply defrost them in the fridge before serving - and you can enjoy fresh, delicious macarons at any time. With the right storage, your macarons will always be a delight - no matter when you serve them.
