A Macaron Troubleshooting Guide: Useful Tips and Advice to Master the French Delicacy

馬卡龍制作要點(diǎn)指南：（法式）上集（一篇博文只能有一萬字）

原文來自這里，作者將制作馬卡龍所需要注意的所有細(xì)節(jié)都提及了，非常佩服作者的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。圓豬豬的英文水平有限，請(qǐng)了@landaifang 藍(lán)帶坊的店主幫忙一同翻譯再發(fā)給大家參考。

大約兩年前我編寫了“如何制作馬卡龍”，至今仍然有許多人在我博客上詢問相關(guān)問題。在我回答了成千上百個(gè)讀者的“用什么樣的工具？”“為什么我的馬卡龍沒有裙邊”等等各種問題后。我想寫一篇更詳細(xì)的制作中的要點(diǎn)指南是勢(shì)在必行了。我收集了本人制作馬卡龍的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和閱讀了大量的相關(guān)馬卡龍的博客,文章，書籍（資料來源我有寫在文章底部）。我相信這篇博客將解答大部分新手關(guān)于馬卡龍的疑問。如果您讀過這篇文章，覺得我有遺漏什么，請(qǐng)給我留言，我將隨時(shí)回答和更新。

Almost two years after being published, my?illustrated ‘How To Make Macarons’ post?is still by far the most popular post on my blog. After answering to hundreds of readers posting all kinds of questions, from which equipment to use to why they can’t “get feet”, I thought writing a troubleshooting guide was in order. I gathered all this info through macaron making experience and by reading dozens of articles, blog posts and books on the subject (sources are cited below when I quote from them). I believe this post will answer most (if not all!) questions macaron novices might have. If after reading this page you think I forgot something, please?send me a line?or write a comment below and I will edit my post to always keep it up-to-date.

IMPORTANT NOTE:?This troubleshooting guide is about the classic, French method of making macarons, which?doesn’t?involve an Italian meringue.

請(qǐng)注意：這個(gè)疑難要點(diǎn)指南是關(guān)于傳統(tǒng)的法式卡馬龍，而非意式馬卡龍。

WHAT SHOULD A ‘PERFECT MACARON’ LOOK LIKE??
Here’s a list of essential aesthetic traits:

·???????????????????????????????? Shells should be perfectly round and show ‘feet’ or a crown at their base

·???????????????????????????????? Top of shells should be perfectly smooth

·???????????????????????????????? Bottom of shells should be perfectly flat

·???????????????????????????????? Shells should be shiny, and the choice of color should be assorted to the flavor

·???????????????????????????????? Shells should all be of the same size

·???????????????????????????????? The feet should not be larger than the top of the shell

·???????????????????????????????? Filling should be visible and not be runny

Of course, very few macarons feature all of these standards at once. The list may sound daunting when the novice baker attempts to make macarons for the first time, but with patience and meticulousness, I believe the home cook can achieve results that rival macarons made by masters like?Pierre Hermé?or?Ladurée.

??????? Back to top

何為“完美”的馬卡龍？

以下是馬卡龍的基本審美特征：

1.?????? 殼要豐滿圓潤(rùn)，底部出現(xiàn)裙邊。

2.?????? 殼的頂部要非常的圓滑

3.?????? 底部要足夠平坦。

4.?????? 外殼要有光澤，選擇的色澤要和味道相匹配。

5.?????? 殼的大小需要一致。

6.?????? 裙邊不能大于外殼

7.?????? 夾餡后可見填充內(nèi)餡，內(nèi)餡要成半固狀，不要流淌。

當(dāng)然, 很少有馬卡龍能一下就滿足上面所有標(biāo)準(zhǔn), 這個(gè)審美特征可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致很多新手不敢去嘗試當(dāng)他們開始制作馬卡龍的時(shí)候, 但是有足夠的耐心和謹(jǐn)慎,我相信家庭主婦們一樣可以做出很好的馬卡龍和大師Pierre Hermé?or?Ladurée 比一比的.

About the Ingredients

關(guān)于材料

What size of egg whites should I use?
My recipes (and most macaron recipes, in general) use large egg whites.

我要用多少的蛋白？

我的配方（幾乎所有的法式配方）使用大個(gè)雞蛋的蛋白。

What is the average weight of a large egg white?
30 to 33 g per egg white.

通常大個(gè)雞蛋的蛋白是多重？

通常一顆大蛋的蛋白是重30-33克

Can I use ‘Egg Beaters’ or ‘Simply Egg Whites’ or other pre-separated egg whites sold in cartons?

我能使用‘Egg Beaters’ （Egg Beaters是處理過的蛋白。里面添加了維生素和植物膠。還有鹽和洋蔥粉。）or ‘Simply Egg Whites’（ Simply Egg Whites應(yīng)該是指直接已從蛋里取的蛋白，添加了維生素等。）

嗎?

I have tried pre-separated egg whites with very inconsistent results. I know other bakers who tried to use them as well without success. Maybe it’ll work for you, but it’s more likely that it won’t. Separate your own eggs, it’s easy.

我有試過用“預(yù)分離蛋白”產(chǎn)生了很多不太好的效果。我知道其它的烘焙者嘗試使用“預(yù)分離蛋白”也同樣都失敗了，也許您可以成功，但大部份是失敗的，自己分離蛋白吧, 更容易成功。

?If I can’t use egg beaters, what do I do with all the leftover egg yolks?
There are many things you can do with leftover egg yolks.?Fresh pasta?is one of my favorites, but you can also make?homemade mayo?or?a?oli,?hollandaise sauce, creamy desserts such as crème br?lée or zabaglione, and many other recipes. Here’s a very useful resource that lists recipes according to the number of egg yolks you need to make them:?Recipes to Use Up Extra Egg Yolks.

如果我不能用“egg beaters”，如何處理多余的蛋黃？(外國(guó)人很節(jié)約啊!)

剩下的蛋黃可以用來做很多事。我最喜愛的是意大利面條，您還可以用來做梅奧，醬油，奶油甜點(diǎn)，或意大利菜肴和許多其它的食譜（豬豬覺得蛋達(dá)水和虎皮卷，蛋黃醬都不錯(cuò)）這里有個(gè)使用蛋黃的食譜鏈接。Recipes to Use Up Extra Egg Yolks.

What type of food coloring should I use?
Gel or powdered food colorings are preferable because liquid food colorings have less coloring power, so you need to add more to reach the right color and risk adding too much moisture to the batter. I like the?Ateco gel kits?or?Chefmaster powdered kits.

我要使用哪種食用色素？

膏狀或粉狀食用色素是最適合的，因?yàn)橐簯B(tài)色素的上色效果較差，所以您需要添加更多的色素才能達(dá)到理想的色澤，那樣的話就會(huì)添加更多的水份進(jìn)入面糊。我喜歡Ateco 膏狀色素套裝?or?Chefmaster 色素粉套裝.

Is the use of cream of tartar necessary?
Cream of tartar is added to egg whites to help stabilize them and give them volume and strength. I personally never use cream of tartar (it’s not essential to the macaron recipe), but if you have trouble getting volume when you beat the egg whites, or if you feel like you never get the right batter consistency, try adding cream of tartar (1/8 teaspoon for each white) once the whites are foamy, before adding sugar.

有必要使用塔塔粉嗎？（豬豬覺得這里用蛋白粉更健康）

塔塔粉加入蛋白中可以增加蛋白的穩(wěn)定性和持久性。我個(gè)人從來不使用塔塔粉（馬卡龍的配方中這個(gè)不是必需品）但如果您覺得打發(fā)蛋白相對(duì)困難，可以放少許放入待打發(fā)的蛋白中.或者您無法拌到面糊到理想的狀態(tài)，那么當(dāng)?shù)鞍状虬l(fā)起泡后，嘗試加少許塔塔粉（每顆蛋白放1/8茶匙）然后再添加糖。

Is the use of powdered sugar necessary? Can I use a substitute? Can I reduce the sugar quantity?
Yes, powdered sugar is necessary, you can’t substitute it for ??other kind of sugar. You can play around with the sugar quantity, but not significantly as a fair quantity is needed to create the balance needed to get the best macaron texture.?This article explains?the mystical union of sugar and egg whites (via?BraveTart).

一定要使用糖粉嗎？我能使用其它代替嗎？我可以減少糖量嗎？

是的，糖粉是必須的，你不能使用其它糖類代替。你可以嘗試改變糖的份量，但要注意不要過量減糖，因?yàn)檫m量的糖的含量才是組成馬卡龍的最佳組織的關(guān)鍵。這篇文章解釋了，糖粉和蛋白的秘密。This article explains?the mystical union of sugar and egg whites (via?BraveTart).

Do all brands of powdered sugar work? Is it ok if it contains cornstarch?

Yes, all brands of powdered sugar contain cornstarch. Low-cost dollar brands will rise the amount of cornstarch they add to the sugar to keep the cost down, so it’s not recommended to use those brands to make macarons. Use a popular brand, but not one?without?cornstarch as a little of it is good, according to Hélène Dujardin, to help balance moisture and ensure sturdy shells.

是不是所有品牌的糖粉都可以使用？可以使用含玉米淀粉的糖粉嗎？

是的，所有品牌的糖粉都含有玉米淀粉，為了使造價(jià)便宜，越廉價(jià)的糖粉就添加越多的玉米淀粉。

所以不推薦大家使用那些價(jià)格低廉品牌的糖粉制作馬卡龍。使用知名大眾品牌，但也不要使用純糖粉，因?yàn)樯倭康挠衩椎矸劭蓭椭コ凉駳夂痛_保馬卡龍組織的堅(jiān)固。

What is almond meal? Is it the same as almond flour?
Yes it is. Almond meal or flour is simply almonds that have been ground very finely.?Here’s an example?of what you should look for. Leftover almond meal should be kept in an airtight bag or container in the fridge so it doesn’t turn rancid.

什么是杏仁肉？和杏仁粉相同嗎？

是的，杏仁肉和杏仁粉同樣都是磨制成很細(xì)的粉狀。 這里有個(gè)樣版，用不完的杏仁肉/粉應(yīng)該保存在一個(gè)密封包或是瓶子內(nèi)，放在冰箱冷藏，以免受潮。?

My almond meal/flour looks wet/oily. Can I still use it?
Yes you can, but you should dry it first or it could cause you trouble making perfect macarons. Here’s a simple explanation and method (from book?Les Petits Macarons: Colorful French Confections to Make at Home): “If you store your flour in the refrigerator or freezer, drying it before using – to remove any moisture from storage – will improve the structure and shape of your macarons and reduce the risk of cracks. To dry your almond flour, preheat the oven to 200°F [95°C]. Spread the almond flour on a baking sheet and bake it for 30 minutes. Remove the flour from the oven and let it cool completely before proceeding with the recipe.”

?我的杏仁粉看起來潮濕/出油？我還能用嗎？

是的你可以用，但是你要先把它烘干，不然就無法做出完美的馬卡龍。這里是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的解釋和方法（來自書籍：?Les Petits Macarons: Colorful French Confections to Make at Home）假如你將杏仁粉放在冰箱里，在使用前將它烘干。去除濕氣可以使馬卡龍的組織和外形更加完美，也減少外殼開裂的出現(xiàn)。如何烘干杏仁粉？在制作馬卡龍前，預(yù)熱烤箱至95°C， 將杏仁粉放在烤盤中平鋪并撥開，烘烤約30分鐘，將烤盤取出讓至自然冷卻。

Can I use nuts other than almond to make macarons?
Yes you can, but, says Hélène Dujardin of?Tartelette, who regularly teaches macaron classes, “Try to keep a 50% ratio of almonds to other nuts. Almonds are the least oily of all nuts and they will keep the batter to the right consistency.” Try hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans or pistachios for different and tasty results.

我可以使用其它堅(jiān)果來制作馬卡龍嗎？

是的你可以的，教馬卡龍課的Hélène Dujardin of?Tartelette老師說過：“保持50%的杏仁粉和其它堅(jiān)果粉，杏仁是所有堅(jiān)果類中含油含最少的而且其面糊更適合做馬卡龍，你可以嘗試用榛果，花生，山核桃和開心果，或其它不同的堅(jiān)果來嘗試不同口味。?

Can I grind my own almonds/nuts?
Of course you can, if you don’t mind the extra work. Blanched almonds are best, but raw almonds work too, although their brown skin will alter the color of your shells. To grind the almonds/nuts, weigh them whole, then add them to a food processor along with the powdered sugar (which will prevent your nuts turning into butter). Process until very smooth, then sift as the recipe requires.

我能自己磨杏仁粉或是使用其它堅(jiān)果粉嗎？

你當(dāng)然可以的，如果你不怕麻煩的話，去皮的杏仁是最好的，有皮杏仁同樣可以，但它表皮的自然棕色會(huì)使你的馬卡殼失所有鮮艷的顏色。磨杏仁粉或堅(jiān)果粉的方法，首先稱出它們的全部重量，和糖粉混合后，再把它們放至食物攪拌機(jī)中攪拌。如果不加糖粉的話，堅(jiān)果類會(huì)在攪拌過程中出油，變成膏狀。將杏仁粉+糖粉打至細(xì)膩后，再過篩稱出配方中需要的份量。

What if I’m allergic to nuts? Can I still make macarons?
Yes, you can. There are many nut-free macaron recipes out there, and here are the ones I’m inclined to trust the most.

·???????????????????????????????? Nut-Free Macarons, made with pumpkin seeds (Brave Tart)

·???????????????????????????????? Nut Free French Macarons, made with coconut & black sesame seeds (Baking Obsession)

·???????????????????????????????? Coconut Macaron with Lime and White Chocolate Ganache?(Gourmeted)

I hear author Jill Colonna has also published a quinoa-based macaron recipe in her book,?Mad About Macarons.

如果我對(duì)堅(jiān)果過敏，我還能制作馬卡龍嗎？

是的可以的，這里有很多不需堅(jiān)果的馬卡龍配方，這里有很好的配方

南瓜子馬卡龍??

椰子粉和黑芝麻馬卡龍

可可馬卡龍和白巧甘那許

About the Equipment

關(guān)于工具

Parchment paper or Silpats?
Some prefer?Silpats (silicon mats), others parchment paper. Personally, I find that silicon mats seems to stick to delicate macaron shells more easily. I always use parchment paper with good, consistent results (and you can reuse the same parchment paper sheets many times before throwing them away). I always use?unbleached parchment paper.

?

油紙(不粘布) 或 硅膠烤墊？(這里我們結(jié)合國(guó)人的習(xí)慣稍做修改)

有些人喜歡用硅膠墊，有的人喜歡用油紙(不粘布)。我覺得硅膠墊更容易粘住馬卡龍的底部，所以我總是使用油紙(不粘布)，而且每次烤出來的效果都很棒。（你可以將油布反復(fù)使用很多次）, 我一直使用未漂白的油紙(不粘布)

?

>?Back to top

Can I use butter instead of parchment paper?
I wouldn’t recommend it. Because of the macarons’ delicate nature, it often helps to be able to lift off the parchment paper (or silicon mat) to peel it off the shells. Plus, using butter would change the taste of the shells (which contain no fat).

我能使用涂抹黃油來代替使用油紙(不粘布)嗎？

我不推薦那樣，因?yàn)轳R卡龍的組織很嬌貴，易碎，使用油紙(不粘布)將使馬卡龍很輕易的從紙上或硅膠墊上剝離出來。涂油有可能會(huì)改變馬卡龍外殼的風(fēng)味（馬卡龍本身是不含油脂的）

Can I use wax paper / aluminum foil?
No, please don’t.

我能使用臘紙或鋁紙嗎？

不，請(qǐng)不要。

Which pastry tip is best?
Use a pastry tip with a round opening of about 1/2”-3/4” in diameter. Good examples are Ateco Plain Pastry Tubes, sizes?6,?7?or?8. They cost about $1.50 each, or?you can buy a full set.

什么樣的擠花嘴是最好的？

使用一圓頭擠花嘴，大約1/2”-3/4” 或者你可以買一整套的.

?

What pastry bags do you use?
Any reusable pastry bag will do, and I would choose a bigger size (14” to 18”), which allows you to transfer more batter (or all of it) at once. Also, choose one that is lined with plastic so you can clean it easily (see?Ateco Plastic-Coated Decorating Bag).?I admit that I also like the convenience of?disposable pastry bags. They are cheap and easy to use.

你使用什么樣的擠花袋？

任何可重復(fù)使用的擠花袋都可以，我會(huì)選擇大一點(diǎn)的尺寸。那樣可以讓你一次裝入所有的面糊，做的更快一些。我更喜歡使用一次性裱花袋，它們便宜而且容易使用。

Do I really need to use a stainless steel bowl? Will aluminum or plastic bowls do?
I highly recommend it using stainless steel. A good stainless steel?cul-de-poule?is very versatile in the kitchen and will last you a lifetime. You don’t need a whole set,?just one large bowl?and you’ll be fine for most kitchen tasks. Says Stephanie Jaworski of?Joy of Baking: “Stainless steel (…) does a good job of whipping and stabilizing the egg whites. Don’t use an aluminum bowl as it gives the beaten egg whites a grayish tinge as some of the aluminum does come off during beating. Plastic and glass are not good surfaces either as the whites tend to slip down the sides of the bowl and plastic attracts grease because of its porous surface.” If your bowl is just slightly greasy (which isn’t always noticeable to the eye or touch), it will prevent your egg whites from rising properly.

我需要使用不銹鋼盆嗎？ 使用鋁制或塑料盆可以嗎？

我強(qiáng)烈推薦使用不銹鋼盆，一個(gè)優(yōu)質(zhì)的不銹鋼盆是可多用途的，而且可以終生使用。你不需要全套設(shè)備，只是一個(gè)大盆。除了做馬卡龍，你還可以用來做任何的廚房家務(wù)。不銹鋼盆是打發(fā)蛋白最好的容器。不要使用鋁盆，因?yàn)樵诖虻邦^觸碰盆內(nèi)的時(shí)侯，會(huì)有一些鋁屑會(huì)掉出來，塑膠盆和玻璃盆的表面也不適合。假如你的盆仍然有污跡（這些是用肉眼或觸摸感覺不出來的）那就將影響蛋白的打發(fā)。

>?Back to top

But, won’t my electric beater scratch the stainless steel bowl?
Stainless steel is a very resistant surface. Although it’s true that, with use, it will show a slight patina, it won’t scratch per se, meaning nothing can penetrate stainless steel deeply. That’s why it’s the favorite working surface in professional kitchens.

?但是，我的電動(dòng)打蛋器會(huì)刷傷我的不銹鋼盆？

不銹鋼盆的表面非常堅(jiān)固，使用這個(gè)是會(huì)一些輕微的刮痕，但不銹鋼是非常堅(jiān)固耐磨的，那是為什么不銹鋼是廚房里最好的廚具材料。

What kind of baking sheet is best? Do I need to buy an expensive one?
Quality isn’t as important as quantity. Because you’ll always cover the baking sheets with parchment paper, you don’t need top notch nonstick surfaces. Your good old battered sheets will do, but if you’re going to make macarons often, make sure you have at least 4 baking sheets (all of the same size), as each sheet much be doubled. One batter recipe will fill at least two sheets, so having two sets of sheets ready to use will allow you to pipe all your shells at once. If you need to buy baking sheets, here’s?a good example of a basic and inexpensive, but good quality, baking sheet.

什么樣的烤盤是最好的？我需要買一個(gè)貴的嗎？(國(guó)內(nèi)烤盤便宜,親們別被誤導(dǎo))

質(zhì)量不比數(shù)量重要，因?yàn)槟憧偸且糜筒忌w上烤盤上了。你不需要買一個(gè)防粘的烤盤，你舊的烤盤也可以使用，但是你如果經(jīng)常制作馬卡龍。你要有4個(gè)同樣尺寸的烤盤。因?yàn)槊總€(gè)烤盤必須配對(duì)。一個(gè)好的配方通常都可以擠出兩盤馬卡龍。所以有兩張烤盤可以讓你制作好面糊后，馬上擠另一盤。如果你需要購(gòu)買烤盤，這里是一個(gè)價(jià)廉物美的烤盤樣版。

?

Why do I need to double the baking sheets?
Doubling the baking sheets prevent the bottom of the shells to bake too quickly, which would make it too hard by “macaron standards”. It also favors the formation of the infamous feet (or crown), which is another macaron standard that can be frustratingly hard to get. Get there quicker by doubling your baking sheets.

?

為什么我要相疊烤盤？(推薦大家使用重鋼烤盤,厚度足夠.)

相疊兩張烤盤可以防止馬卡龍殼的底部被烤的太快，

?制作方法請(qǐng)看下集。
