<p>This month turns out to be a macaron one, beside maybe a particular reason, my addiction is also back and I experimenting some new flavors, new presentation&#8230;</p>
<p>This one is really classic but very fresh, the ganache is made with butter and fresh lemon juice. I followed the recipe from <a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Le%C3%A7ons-p%C3%A2tisserie-6-Macarons-Christophe/dp/2830709411/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1274525606&amp;sr=8-4" target="_blank">Christophe Felder</a> (I learned from his book, although I got the one of <a href="http://www.amazon.fr/MACARON-Pierre-Herm%C3%A9/dp/2353260357/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1274525641&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Pierre Hermé</a>,<a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Solution-macarons-Mercotte/dp/2916736123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1274525665&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"> Mercotte</a> and browsed the web). The one of Pierre Hermé is quite closed but you have to scrub the sugar with the lemon zest, what I did not do, I added the lemon zest into the ganache.</p>
<p>Talking about browsing the web, I read in a blog (sorry I forgot about the name, but it is from an american girl who did a stage at Pierre Hermé lately and reveals most of the technical secrets about the macaron) that you have to wait at least 24 hours for ganache based with chocolate (that I know, minimum time even if it&#8217;s hard) and 48 hours for butter ganache. The reason??! if I remember well the butter has less water so it takes more time for humidity to get into the shell and do the perfect alliance with the ganache. Except&#8230;! this macaron, I was always surprised to notice that this macaron is always really soft even the crust even after 24 hours. I did it several times but no mistake ( I hope) it is always mellow&#8230;and good! The reason might come from the lemon juice (that could be check out with some orange macaron <img src='http://www.lauresophie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> )<br />

<h2><span style="color: #666699;">Lemon macaron</span></h2>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #666699;">Ingredients for the macarons shells (around 30-40 macarons):</span></strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>200 g dried almonds powder</li>
<li>200 g confectioners’ sugar (or ice sugar)</li>
<li>200 g sugar in powder</li>
<li>2 * 75 g eggwhites</li>
<li>50 ml water</li>
<li>yellow colorant (powder)</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Put the almonds and confectioners’ sugar together in the blender and mix. This «pasta» is called the <strong>tant pour tant</strong> (TPT) because there is as much as sugar as almonds powder. Reserve in a bowl.</li>
<li>In a pot pour 160 g of sugar in powder, add the water but do not mix. Bring to a temperature of 115°C.</li>
<li>Meanwhile beat the eggwhites (75 g) with the remaining sugar until stiff (the mix should be consistant but not too much, just avoid the beaten eggwhites form a beak)</li>
<li>Still beating the eggwhite, pour the boiling sugar. Mix until the temperature reaches down 40°C (or no temperature sensation on your finger). This process (2 to 4) is the so called <strong>meringue italienne</strong>.</li>
<li>At that moment add the remaining eggwhites (the unbeaten ones) and the colorant to the TPT. Mix gently. Add a third of the meringue to make it more supple. Mix gently and add the rest of the meringue. Mix softly. The final TPT should be quite soft but not liquid (literally it has to do a ribbon)!</li>
<li>Fill a pastry bag with a piping nozzle of size 6 or 8 (diameter in mm). Pip small rounds onto parchment paper. Space the shells (coques) by 2 cm at least (as seen in the following picture). Let them sit out at least 15-20 mns</li>
<li>Meanwhile warm up the oven at 150°C.</li>
<li>After 15-20 mns, put the macarons in the oven for 12-15 mns, depending of the size (1 parchement paper at a time or the shells break). Let cool before removing.</li>
</ol>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #666699;">Lemon ganache</span></strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>2 g gelatin</li>
<li>3 eggs (medium)</li>
<li>130 g sugar</li>
<li>130 g fresh lemon juice (2-3 lemons)</li>
<li>lemon zest</li>
<li>175 g butter</li>
<li>30 g almonds flour</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Put the gelatin in cold water</li>
<li>In a saucepan stir sugar and eggs</li>
<li>Add the lemon juice and whisk constantly at first simmer over low-medium heat.</li>
<li>Stir in the gelatin and lemon zest. Whisk for 1 minute.</li>
<li>Pour the lemon cream over the butter. Using a food mixer blend the cream+butter for 1 minute.</li>
<li>Stir in the almond flour and mix gently using a spatula.</li>
<li>Keep in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.</li>
<li>When it is cold and consistant, fill a pastry bag with the ganache.</li>
<li>Pipe the ganache on the center of the shell and top with another one (<em>if you don’t put enough ganache the shells will dry!</em>)</li>
<li>Keep the macarons in the fridge for at least 24 hours</li>

</span></p>
<p>It was quite a time I did not bake any macaron&#8230; maybe because I did too many last christmas and I got a little bit sick of doing them <img src='http://www.lauresophie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> , but also because two kids keep you really really busy and imply a good ability in time scheduling.</p>
<p>After the <a href="http://www.lauresophie.com/2010/04/strawberries-tiramisu/" target="_blank">strawberry tiramisu</a>, strawberry salad, mango strawberry smoothie I tried the strawberry macaron, it could not be that bad. The first attempt of ganache was a homemade strawberry marmelade. Even doubling the quantity of pectin it resulted too liquid to stay in the middle of the shells. So I ended up doing the classical ganache with white chocolate and strawberry by Christophe Felder. The ganache has a really soft texture and taste.</p>

<li>Fill a pastry bag with a piping nozzle of size 6 or 8 (diameter in mm). Pip small rounds onto parchment paper. Space the shells (coques) by 2 cm at least (as seen in the following picture). Let them sit out at least 15-20 mns</li>

</ol>
<p><span style="color: #666699;">Recommandation: do a preliminary test by putting only 5-6 shells in the oven. If you have trouble removing the shells after the cooking then let themc ook a little more. If they are cracked decrease the oven’s temperature.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666699;">Also if you want to avoid to do the macaron shells with the meringue italienne, more difficult, go see the blog of </span><a href="http://tartelette.blogspot.com/2009/05/recipe-powdered-strawberry-macarons.html"><span style="color: #666699;">tartelette</span></a><span style="color: #666699;">, she explains pretty well how to do macarons shells with simple meringue.</span></p></blockquote>

<li>Sempre montando, versare lo zucchero fuso sugli albumi a neve e continuare a montare finche la temperatura sia di circa 40°C (nessuna sensazione di temperatura sul dito)</li>
<li>Incorporare gli ultimi 75 g di albume al composto zucchero+mandorle.</li>
<li>Aggiungere 1/3 della meringa per ammorbidire l’impasto. Poi unire il tutto. Mescolare (dal centro verso i bordi) fin quando l’impasto è abbastanza fluido senza essere troppo liquido (*)</li>
<li>Versare l’impasto in un sac à poche con un beccuccio di 8 mm.</li>
<li>Sulla carta forno fare dei dischi di impasto spaziati tra di loro di 2-3 cm.</li>
<li>Accendere il forno a 150°C.</li>
<li>Dopo 15-20 minuti mettere una alla volta le piastre del forno con i macaron a cuocere per 12-15 minuti.</li>
<li>Lasciare raffreddare prima di staccarli dalla carta forno.</li>
</ol>
<p>(*) Mettere un po’ di pasta su un piatto, se forma una punta (es. la superficie non è liscia) mescolare ancora un po’ la pasta.</p>
<p>Far cuocere la prima volta solo 5-6 macaron alla volta. Se è difficile levarli continuare per un paio di minuti la cottura. Se sono rotti sulla superficie, abbassare la temperatura del forno.</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #e81730;">Ganache al cioccolato</span></strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>300 g  cioccolato bianco</li>
<li>300 g fragole</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Tritare a pezzettini il cioccolato.</li>
<li>Lavare e pulire le fragole. Metterle in una pentola e frullare.</li>
<li>A fuoco basso cuocere (senza far bollire) la purée di fragole.</li>
<li>Attraverso un passino conico a fori sottili, filtrare la purée sopra il cioccolato e mischiarlo.</li>
<li>Mettere la ganache nel frigo per almeno 3-4 ore (la ganache impiega molto tempo per indurire)</li>
<li>Versare in un sac à poche (tasca per pasticceria con beccuccio da 6 mm)</li>
<li>Riempire i dischi con la ganache e ricoprire con un altro disco. E importante che la ganache arrivi sui bordi del disco altrimenti i dischi rischiano di seccarsi.</li>
