Italian Macarons With Hannah

In this class, Hannah Wautier, known for her delicious Italian Macarons, will share her technique for making them.  

What’s The Difference between French and Italian Macarons?  

According to https://foodsguy.com/french-vs-italian-macaron here is a great explanation. 

The main and biggest difference between French and Italian macarons is the meringues used to create them.

French macarons use a French meringue that is made using uncooked egg whites. Italian macarons are made using simple syrup and egg whites that are cooked. The differences in meringues naturally affect the final product. First and foremost, in terms of making the actual meringues, 

French meringues have a less stable structure and can lead to more failed attempts. On the other hand, Italian meringues are much more forgiving and create a stable batter that can be worked much more.

The Italian meringue also causes the macarons to rise higher, creating a smoother foot with a fine texture and a sweet, crispy, airy cookie.

French meringue generally produces flatter macarons with small feet and large air pockets. They have a more almond-like flavor and have a chewier texture.

In this hands-on class, you will work together to mix the batter, bake, and fill the cookies with flavored buttercream frosting. You will go home with a box of cookies to impress your friends and family!
