Ingredients
  

For the Macaron Shells

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar No substitutions recommended.
  • 3 large Egg Whites Ensure they are aged or at room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Necessary for meringue stability.
For the Butterscotch Filling

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • piping bag
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Butterbeer Macarons Recipe
  1. In a mixing bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes. Gently fold in the almond flour mixture.
  2. Transfer batter to piping bag. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe small rounds about 1.5 inches in diameter. Let rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until tops feel dry.
  3. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake macarons for 15-18 minutes until feet form and they do not stick to parchment.
  4. Melt butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Mix melted butterscotch with room temperature butter and butterscotch flavoring until creamy.
  5. Pipe filling onto one macaron shell and top with another shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macarons.
