Macaron

Overview

Macarons (also known as macarons, almond pancakes, and girl's breasts) are a French dessert made with egg whites, almond flour, white sugar and icing sugar. They are usually filled with fruit jam or cream between two biscuits. Its origins can be traced back to the macaroons of the 19th century. After this dessert is baked, it is based on a round flat-bottomed shell, coated with mixed egg whites, and finally added with a hemispherical upper shell to form a round compact dessert with a rich taste. It is the most local delicacy in the Vienne province in western France. This kind of dessert can also be occasionally seen in northeastern France. I have made it many times and eaten many failed products before making it. Tears
