Macarons VS Macaroons: What is Macaroons?

A macaroon (/mækəˈruːn/ mak-ə-ROON }}) is a type of light, baked confections, described as either small cakes or meringue-like cookies depending on their consistency. The original macaroon was a "small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds"similar to Italian or Moroccan amaretti.

The English word macaroon and French macaron come from the Italian maccarone or maccherone. This word is itself derived from ammaccare, meaning crush or beat, used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient.

Most recipes call for egg whites (usually whipped to stiff peaks), with ground or powdered nuts, generally almond or coconut. Almost all call for sugar. Macaroons are commonly baked on edible rice paper placed on a baking tray.

Macarons VS. Macaroons:What is macarons?

From Wikipedia:A macaron (French pronunciation: [makaˈʁɔ̃])[1][2] is a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. The macaron is commonly filled with buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Its name is derived from an Italian word "maccarone" or "maccherone". This word is itself derived from ammaccare, meaning crush or beat, used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient.[3] It is meringue-based: made from a mixture of egg whites, almond flour, and both granulated and confectionery sugar.

The confectionery is characterized by its smooth, domed top, ruffled circumference (referred to as the "foot"), flat base, mildly moist and easily melted into mouths.[4]

Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavors that range from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate) to the new (truffle, green matcha tea). The fillings can range from jams, ganache, or buttercream. Since the English word macaroon can also refer to the Coconut macaroon, many have adopted the French spelling of macaron to distinguish the two items in the English language. However, this has caused confusion over the correct spelling of the cookie/biscuit. Some recipes exclude the use of macaroon to refer to this French confection while others think that they are synonyms.[5]

•6 scope aiskrim (apa2 perisa)-6 scoop sebab 6 bijik-guna perisa neapolitan
•Plastik wrap ( untuk balut roti) -tak guna pon, terus simpan dlm tupperware
•Minyak

Cara-cara:

1.Lembabkan roti dengan air ( saya spraykan roti tu )
2.Skopkan aiskrim ke atas roti.
3.Tutupkan aiskrim dgn sekeping roti lagi.
4.Tekan acuan telur yang bulat tu (hana guna acuan spt di atas) supaya roti terputus (Pastikan roti bercantum supaya aiskrim tidak meleleh keluar).
5.Balut dengan plastik pembalut dan simpan dalam frezeer selama 3jam atau semalaman - hana simpan semalaman(aku simpan semua terus dalam satu tupperware microwave resistant, tak sempat balut dgn wrap..)
6.Keluarkan dari tempat pembeku dan goreng dalam minyak yang panas hingga kuning keemasan. Jangan lama, paling kurang 1-2min sahaja tp pastikan minyak sudah betol2 panas.Kalau nak tgk step by step gi sini k?
