Greetings folks – I’ve gone Canadian for this post! I’ve got a great guest poster standing in for me today, and in honour of her post I thought I’d post a little photo of William as well. The very latest in Canadian baby fashion (look how cool he is!), this, and a couple of other adorable little outfits, were sent to me by the lovely Barb, from Profiteroles and Ponytails, and Eva, from Kitchen Inspirations, when they first found out my wife was pregnant. Can you believe that this little outfit is supposed to be from 3-6 months? Little Will is rocking it already… chubby little guy that he is! I can see that he’s going to cause us no end of expense in clothes shopping in the future, when he’s growing out of shoes in two months flat!

Speaking of Barb, she very kindly offered to write this guest post for me – even after I was planning on returning to more regular blog work. Naturally I jumped on the offer, because it’s always wonderful to have those precious extra moments free which I can spend with my family. I first met Barb through Eva’s blog about a year ago and since then have greatly enjoyed her recipes and stories. For those of you who don’t know her, she has two adorable children (the ponytails), who pop up every now and again on her blog.

She’s making something amazing today which I’ve never dared to try to make myself (despite buying equipment just for these once) – they look absolutely amazing, and I do hope you all enjoy the post – thank you once again Barb – now over to you!

Find Barb on: Profiteroles and Ponytails

Canada Rocks!

~~~

I can’t tell you what a pleasure it is to guest post for Charles. Shortly after I started blogging, my “real life” and blogging friend Eva from KitchenInspirations kindly wrote a post that introduced my blog Profiteroles and Ponytails to her network of blogging friends. Thanks to Eva, Charles was one of the first people that I met and in no time at all I felt like I’d known him forever . . . largely because of his thoughtful comments and blog posts that draw you in and make you feel like you’re right there in the kitchen with him, having a good ole chat and a cuppa. How many times I’ve wished that I was there so that I could sample one of his famous Swedish kakas (cakes) or cinnamon buns? (Trust me, too many to count.)

I started blogging because I needed a creative outlet for my obsession—one that would save me from driving my friends and family crazy with my incessant “food talk”. Turns out though, the aspect of blogging I enjoy the most is being part of this amazing international community of food lovers—it is such a constant source of inspiration and knowledge.

Inspiration works in mysterious ways. You see something that speaks to you . . .  and then you tuck it away until the time is right. A few months back I commented on the lovely background that Charles used in one his photos (Calissons) and he told me that it was in fact a macaron mat. I thought that was very cool and it made me want to try to make macarons. Then when Charles mentioned writing a guest post, it hit me. This was the perfect occasion to give macarons a try. What better way to celebrate international friendships and the new little bundle keeping Charles and his wife very busy?

It seemed like such a good idea at first. Why not make something that would bring a little piece of Paris to those of us scattered around the globe who follow Five Euro Foods? Then I started my research and I was completely overwhelmed by the macaron “lingo” that I wasn’t aware existed. My mind was spinning as I learned about the importance of “feet,” macronage* . . . and “aging” egg whites**. The more I read, the more frightened I became.

Can you spot the “feet” in this photo?

I came very close to scrapping the macarons and making something else. But then I decided to give them a try because it would be a good opportunity to share my experience—and if I’m lucky, some of you will share your tips and experience with making this legendary French confectionery. It would be great to learn more. Isn’t that what blogging is all about? I think it is.

And so is this . . .

Eva and Charles getting to know one another — and the macarons of Paris — a little better!

Coconut and Lime Macarons

Slightly adapted from Gourmet

Ingredients

For the macarons

  • 1 cup grated dried unsweetened coconut (3 oz)
  • 3 oz almond flour (2/3 cup) or blanched sliced almonds (3/4 cup) or slivered almonds (2/3 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 3 large egg whites, aged 24-hours**
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

 For the curd

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel

Equipment

  • A food processor with a sharp blade or an electric coffee/spice grinder
  • A large pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain tip or a qt-size sealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off, plus another sealable bag for curd.

Instructions

  1. Make curd
    – Whisk together lime juice, sugar, and egg yolks in a small heavy saucepan. Add butter and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until curd is thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool completely and refrigerate for a couple hours before using.
  2. Make macaron batter
    – Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
    – Grind coconut and almond flour or almonds with confectioners sugar in food processor until powdery, about 2 minutes. (If using grinder, grind in small batches.) Sift through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl (if not fine enough for almost all of nuts to go through sieve, regrind). Sift again into a large bowl.
    – Beat egg whites with salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Beat in granulated sugar, a little at a time. Increase speed to high and beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks, about 1 minute. meringue into almond mixture with a rubber spatula until completely incorporated. (Meringue will deflate and batter will be loose.)
  3. Pipe and bake macarons
    – Put small dabs of batter under corners of parchment to secure to baking sheets.
    – Spoon half of batter into pastry bag. Holding bag vertically just above baking sheet, pipe 1-1/2-inch-wide mounds of batter about 1 inch apart, stopping pressure and flicking tip sideways to avoid peaks (tamp down any peaks with a wet finger). Refill pastry bag and repeat.
    – Let macarons stand, uncovered, at room temperature until a light crust forms, 20 to 30 minutes.
    – Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300°F/150°C with racks in upper and lower thirds.
    – Bake macarons, switching position of sheets halfway through, until crisp and interior does not give easily when a macaron is gently pressed, 22 to 28 minutes total. (I found they needed much less time to cook. I cooked mine for 20 minutes and next time I will check them even sooner.) Cool completely on baking sheets (for residual heat to harden bottoms) on racks, about 30 minutes. Loosen macarons from parchment with offset spatula (they will be fragile).
  4. Assemble cookies
    – Pipe about 1/2 tsp or so of curd onto flat side of half of a macaron, then sandwich with a remaining macaron.
    – Layer macarons between sheets of parchment in an airtight container and let stand at room temperature at least 2 hours to soften before eating.

NOTES:

  • I didn’t put the shells into the fridge to store — I just stored them (unassembled) in a container. I think this was a mistake, as they seemed to harden a bit the next day.
  • The changes that I made to the Gourmet recipe were to use “aged” egg whites and to use a lime curd instead of the passion-fruit curd in the original recipe. I also didn’t use any food colouring. I think coconut and lime is a sublime flavour combination. I hope you agree.
  • I also used nutella in place of the lime curd for some of the macarons. The ponytails loved both options.
  • I used icing sugar because confectioners sugar is rather hard to find. However, the experts recommend that you use confectioners sugar because icing sugar (also known as icing mixture) contains corn starch which impacts the final form and texture of the macarons.
  • I didn’t use a macaron mat because, well, I couldn’t find one. Next time I will draw 1-1/2 inch circles on the back of the parchment paper to ensure each cookie is a consistent size.

* Macronage – the process of mixing of the nuts and sugar mixture into the egg whites.

** Aging egg whites – means to separate the yolks from whites and store the whites (covered) in the fridge for 24 hours. The whites should be brought to room temperature before using. The reason is to reduce the moisture content as much as possible.

It is such an exciting time for Charles, as he starts this new journey into fatherhood. Little William is a lucky boy, as I have no doubt that Charles will apply the same enthusiasm and passion towards his new role that he does many of his other endeavors – particularly FiveEuroFood! Congratulations again Charles!

    Thanks for such a wonderful guest post Barb, and your very kind words! I've never dared make macarons yet. Like you, I read so many things about how you even have to have the humidity levels in your kitchen just right otherwise you end up with a huge failure! You've made it look very successful and they sound (and look) absolutely delicious. You really make me want to give these a go sometime finally! Thank you again!

      Charles, it has been such a pleasure. You really are going to have to give these a try -- but you will need to wait until William starts to have long afternoon naps so have time to work on them. After all, you can't let that mat go to waste . . . although it certainly makes a nice backdrop for photos! :)

    What a great guest post Barbie, I can't believe you made the impossible macaron! And with such success. I was thinking about taking a class for macaron making while in France but decided against it — too risky, they are just too good to pass up! I was very happy to have met Charles who is as charming, generous and friendly in person as he is on his blog. We had an amazing lunch (you'll have to read about it on my blog) and great conversation on our last day in Paris. Charles, I am so happy that the little outfits fit William and that he looks so dashing sporting his Canadian brand! He is quite the lucky little fella to have been born into your family.

      Eva, maybe we could make them together some time . . . that way we could split the results too and it wouldn't result in too much damage for either of us! I can't wait to hear all about your visit with Charles on your last day in Paris. It was so fun to get the photos from you both, and know that you had spent such a fun afternoon together. William is doing us Canadians proud, isn't he? A lucky fella indeed ...

    What a lovely post!! I only sort of mastered macarons this year and once you make one batch that "foots" you'll be able to make them every time. These look really good and that photo of you and Eva is so cool! That baby looks nearly ready for school! How cute.

    What a great job on the macarons Barb...and it's nice to meet you. I was like you when I started researching macarons. I almost didn't want to try them anymore, but I love a challenge! They came out great and now I am really good. They're quite easy once you get the hang of them. I love your combo, lime and coconut, very tropical. My children love the Nutella ones too. Charles, William is definitely rocking his new outfit :). He's adorable. Nazneen

      Nice to meet you too Nazneen! I'm encouraged to hear that you've mastered macarons now and find them quite easy. I was just sweating when I made them, especially after aging the egg whites and double sifting the almond meal/sugar mixture. I really do need to find some confectioners' sugar though. Lime and coconut has become my new favourite flavour combination. :) Although it is nice to know that the Nutella is such a good (and popular) option, since it's so easy to use!

    Barb, your macarons leave me speechless. They are perfect (and as a big macaron fan and a difficult one too I can assure you I know what French macarons must look like!). I have never dared trying these sweet treats because they seemed impossible. They still do! Congratulations! Charles, your son looks really cute in this babygros (how do you call it in English???). Barb and Eva are adorable and so thoughtful!

      Don't they look awesome Sissi? I haven't dared trying them either... I think they'd flop because I read so many horror stories about their difficulty! I think we just call it a "onesie" in English... as in a "one-piece", although maybe I'm completely wrong...

      Sissi, you are always so sweet. I felt the same way before trying these -- however I just stuck to the directions and everything went smoothly. If I can make them then ... (you know what I'm trying to say here). I also have to give Eva the credit for the idea about the onesie. She mentioned that she was going to send something to Charles and I offered to go in on it. As usual, Eva was very organised and pulled this together.

Yours look wonderful and with a perfect foot. Congratulations. Congratulations to Charles too, what a beautiful baby. GG

      Thanks so much! You really must try them GG. The main thing is to have the right equipment, follow the directions and to not over-mix during the macronage (mixing the nuts and sugar mixture) stage. They are so good, that they are worth the effort. I'm definitely going to work at improving my skills.

    Oh my GOODness - how much do I love this post?!! I can't figure out what's giving me bigger shivers: the adorable picture of William rocking Canada to the core or the photo of Eva and Charles hanging together in Paris! How cool is that - two bloggers coming together over a sweet delight. Barb, I wish I could comment more intelligently on your macarons but I know almost nothing about them nor have I ever tasted one...having said that, they sure look beautiful (love the coconut/lime combo) and by the sounds of things, they're very difficult to make. So, like William, you clearly rocked it! :). p.s. Charles, I actually didn't think that was William at first... I cannot believe how 'grown up' he looks already?!

I'm wondering when it's going to stop! :D Also: I can't believe you've never had a macaron... I thought they were one of those things which pretty much everyone had had, like apple pie. You *have* to try them... they're SO good!

There are so many wonderful patisseries/bakeries where we can buy them here in Toronto now -- hopefully you have a good patisserie near you? I must point out though, that I have a long way to go before mine are up to that standard! Little William really is rocking Canada to the core, isn't he? We couldn't ask for a better brand ambassador!

      Hi there Saskia, nice to see you over here. Long live the coconut and lime combo. You know when I started searching for macaron recipes I kept getting a coconut macaroon recipe that had lime added to it. It would be the same flavour combo, but a very simple recipe. I may have to try that sometime soon when I'm time stretched....but not until after I try out that gorgeous cake on your recent post! Good luck fixing your menu bar. Does seeing the adorable photo of William make you miss the baby years? Most times I'd say no, but William is a perfect poster boy for babies!

I remember those stunning swan puff pastries that you made a little while ago, so I'm surprized that you are hesitant to make macarons. I think these macarons would be way easier!

    Something just went wrong and my whole comment disappeared. I'll try again. William is looking gorgeous and he already has so much hair. People who breed small-sized people are economically advantaged as they get so much more value for money out of clothes and shoes. If you breed rapidly growing people destined to tower over the rest of us it's expensive bringing them up because every time you turn around they've outgrown their shoes or their jeans or their pyjamas etc. Barb's macarons look very good. xx

      Thanks Charlie. I've never thought about it like that before (the expense of rapidly growing children), but of course that must be true. Hopefully the growing levels off at a certain point though. I'm getting the feeling that you are speaking from experience...and it must be especially expensive when you have several kids, like yourself!

Not even sure if something like that exists. O.O Barb I agree with you, Charles makes you feel as if you were in the five euro food kitchen and he makes it so much personal. I mean, one doesn't have the feeling talking and chatting with him through the web. Thats great!

Eva was the one who thought of it and I loved the idea...so I offered to go in on the gift too, so she really deserves the credit for the idea. I also learned that macarons aren't as scarey as they sound at first. I think the main thing is to really stick with the directions because there is quite a bit of science to them. I hope that you give them a try sometime!

    Awh, this is so nice. I'm still trying to get macarons right. Three times so far, and all unlucky. I'd like to try this recipe, but no one is a big fan of coconut here, is it possible to replace the coconut with something else? Or is it not worth risking (& we'll just learn to love coconut? :))

      Fati, I wouldn't recommend swapping out another ingredient for the coconut, just because of the precise science behind these. It's so much effort to make these that I'd hate to see you take the risk. I'm going to do a little research for another recipe without coconut, so that I can try another version too. I'll let you know if I find a good recipe.

    Hi Barb! You made very beautiful macarons and I enjoyed reading your guest post. :) William is already getting so big! He has more hair now and he is handsome! I love the last picture of Charles and Eva, too. :)

      Thank you for all of your lovely comments Nami! Of course I'll let Charles take full credit for adorable William. I enjoyed the challenge of trying the macarons for the first time for this post. It's been great getting to know a few new bloggers, like yourself, as well. Take care!
