Macaron Baking Tips

Food Nouveau has a wonderful resource, a macaron troubleshooting guide with useful tips and advice.

Tools and Equipment

French macarons require a particular set of kitchen tools. If you are new to baking macarons, you might need to stock up on a few supplies. You can find everything you need on Amazon.

Sifter: A handcrank sifter or a simple mesh sifter are needed to sift the almond flour. Do not skip this step.
Mixer: I use a KitchenAid stand mixer, but you can use an electric hand mixer, too.
Silicon mat or parchment paper: Personally, I like the Silpat (there are also many other silicon mat brands), but many baking pros prefer parchment paper.
Half-sheet pans: A high-quality baking pan is needed to make macarons.
Pastry bag: You can use disposable patry bags, reusable pastry bags, or you can even use a gallon-size zipper bag in a pinch.
Piping tip: I use a round decorating tip (such as a no. 1A piping tip).
