Matcha (Green Tea) Macaron
- 60 g almond powder
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 60 g egg white (about 2 eggs)
- 25 g granulated sugar
- 5 g powdered green tea (matcha)
- Push the almond powder through a tamis and then add the powdered sugar and the matcha.
- Then sift them together.
- Beat the egg white, adding the granulated sugar in two times, and beat them until stiff peaks form.
- Add the powders into the egg white, I usually do it in two times.
- With a spatula, try to turn the mixture over so that the foam won't break down too much.
- When it's roughly mixed, do the "macaronage".
- Using a skepper, push the mixture onto the bowl to break the extra bubbles.
- It's done when the surface is shiny and it drops smoothly but not too liquid.
- Put it in a piping bag.
- Use a silicon sheet for macarons if you have.
- If not, use the baking sheet.
- I also put a sheet of carton paper under the baking (or silicon) sheet.
- Pipe the dough on the sheet, keep it upright, until about 2 cm.
- Keep enough distance to other macarons.
- Leave them for several hours to dry until they make skins.
- It takes many hours in the humid weather.
- Bake in the oven preheated at 160 degree C for about 13-4 minutes.
- They make cracks when the lower heat is too strong, and they bust when the upper heat is weak, so I put them on the top position (very close to the ceiling of the oven).
- Turn the board in the middle of the baking.
- Cool them down and remove from the sheet.
- Spread the bean paste or ganache on a macaron coque and bind with another.
- Enjoy!
