Day #143

A macaron (/ˌmækəˈrɒn/ mak-ə-RON;^[1][2] French: [makaʁɔ̃]) or French macaroon (/ˌmækəˈruːn/ mak-ə-ROON)^[3][4] is a sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. There is some variation in whether the term macaron or macaroon is used, and the related coconut macaroon is often confused with the macaron.

There are actually 2 main methods of making macarons – the Italian method and the French method (the third method is the Swiss which is not as popular).
Both methods yield essentially the same yummy and gorgeous looking concoction that most people will recognize as a macaron. However, there are a few subtle differences in the shape and taste between the two types. For the consumer, both types are equally delicious, where it really matters is which method you prefer and is able to master as a baker

I wish I had made these...but I can say, that this one was made in Canada. When I see a macaron I  me think of my daughter. She is is a pastry chef,and loves macarons!  We did a trip to Europe and we had a macaron feast while there!
