Rose Water Macarons | Byron Talbott

Hey, what's up guys today? I'm going to show you guys how to make rose water macaroons So first up you're going to make your rose water buttercream So in a small bowl you're gonna add some room-temperature butter and some powdered sugar and whisk this up for about five minutes until it's nice and fluffy Next you're gonna add your melted white chocolate and some rose water and then continue whisking until it's all completely incorporated And this is going to be a really nice full-bodied clean and smooth buttercream All Right, so once you're finished up with your buttercream, it's on to making your rose colored macaroon cookies So in a medium bowl, you can add one egg white and whisk it up until it's nice and frothy Once it's all frothed up. You're gonna add your granulated sugar and continue whisking until you have a soft meringue Once that's done. You're gonna add your food coloring here I'm using one drop of red gel food coloring and one drop of pink gel food coloring to achieve this beautiful rose color Once you have the color that you want continue whisking until you have semi stiff peaks All right So once the meringue is squared away Sift all your dry ingredients into a separate bowl give it a few stirs Just so the almond meal and the powdered sugar are evenly distributed and then start folding this into the meringue a half at a time The consistency they're gonna be looking for out of this batter is sort of like a thick cake batter And when you scoop some of it back into the bowl, it should flow fairly easily off the spatula All right so once the batter is finished put it into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip and start piping them out onto a Baking tray lined with some parchment paper or with a silpat and you want to make these as even as possible Leaving a little bit of space in between so they don't run into each other And you're gonna let this dry for approximately 15 minutes or so But before you do that, give it a few taps just to release any air that's caught inside the batter Once the macaroons have rested for about 15 minutes I'm gonna throw them into a 300 degree oven for another 15 minutes and I'll rotate the tray about halfway through But while we're waiting for those to bake I'm gonna macerate some raspberries with a little bit of sugar and some of the rose water and this is gonna be Sort of sandwiched right in between the buttercream and the macaroons and it's gonna be a nice little sort of berry Surprise when you bite into the macaroon, so it's been about 15 minutes and these macaroons look absolutely beautiful I'm gonna pull them off the tray and let them cool down for a solid 30 minutes before I mess with them But once they've cooled down, I'm gonna flip half of them over and start piping out the rose water buttercream onto the flipped over side Once I've piped that all out I'm gonna put one of the macerated strawberries right in the center of each of the piped out buttercream and Then sandwich everything in between another macaroon cookie once that's all done. All there is to do is enjoy these beautiful rose water macaroons All right, well these rose water macaroons look pretty good nice and floral I can almost smell the rose water in them just from here It's pretty strong But it's just a lovely rose flavor. So these are great for Valentine's Day, by the way It's a really nice little pink, you know gift thing You can give your girlfriend or your wife and it's uh, it's actually Rachel's favorite macaroon So she's gonna be really happy that I made these But let me test this out Really good Very floral the raspberry that's coated with a little bit of the rose water and sugar It kind of adds like a little bit of acidity to it because that very sort of tangy flavor sort of cuts through some of the Some of the sweetness and the fat of the buttercream. Oh But it's just a killer macaroon Hmm.
