macarons

aka Pretty Patties

Colored bread and colored paste, obviously.

Macaronis, I think they're called.

krabby patties.

They are macarons, kind of a meringue cookie. They are cute and tasty. That's it.

Also: see image for more info.

meringue, specifically.

I get mine from a french bakery, and it's delicious...it's all one flavour...wish they had more varieties though. Rasberry isn't too bad.

because its made with your mom's cum

Macarons, I personally think they taste rather gritty and disgusting, but they love it because AP did a print of 'em.

>>2518251
Maybe AP should do prinnts of healthy stuff like leafy greens and oats (and squats) so we have less fatasses to deal with

>>2518258
Seconded.

>>2518258

A lot of charm makers have been making these up the ass. I was wondering why they were in such a high demand, it all makes sense now.

I grew up with macarons... made properly they aren't gritty.

naw you're all confused-- these are french mini-burgers from Castille Blanc

Goddamn it now I want some fucking macarons.

>>2518225
Actually, both are valid as macaroons. It's a french macaroon O:
The coconut one isn't the only macaroon out there

I love macaroons. They're not too sweet and have so many delicious flavours D:
Hurrr!!!

THAT KRABBY PATTY IS GREEN

I like macaroons more than macarons, and I feel that macaroons would fit in fine at a tea party or picnic, but I'm afraid to bring them to a meet up because someone might think I thought they were macarons. Maybe I could bring both...

>>2518649
Macaroons are made without flour and the process is like cookies. Macarons are made with ground almond flour and the process is like meringue. They're not really all that similar. They aren't just "french macaroons".

To add proof, here is an ingredient list for a batch of macaroons:
3 cups shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

And here it is for macarons:
10 ounce confectioners’ sugar
10 ounce finely ground almonds
5 large egg whites
Pinch of cream of tartar
1/3 cup granulated or superfine bakers sugar

I know I shouldn't care about this so much, but after spending three years in France and enjoying macarons with tea it annoys the hell outta me when people don't realize that French meringue Macarons are NOT related to Scottish Macaroons.

Om nom nom

mmmmm.... macarons....

they sell this shit at starbucks

they no longer sell them at starbucks. believe me... i went to all the ones around me checking for more

a Parisian macaron is not a macaroon. They are different animals. Macarons are made of meringue and a filling; macaroons are made of coconut. :P

>>2519896
the ones at starbucks weren't too good....they were big, though.

>>2519968

The raspberry filling saved the dry outside, but the 260 yen I paid for the thing...mehhhh; the bakeries in Ikebukuro made a much better rose macaron for only 180 yen. SWIMMER's bakery, CHOCOHOLIC have their own line of macarons now and they're surprisingly GOOD.

>>2519981
This thread made me hungry for sweet snacks. I want macarons now.

>>2519968
man in the US we just got boxes of small ones and they weren't that good

I've never tried one. Always wanted to though.

>>2520003
Macarons are the SHIT. They're my favorite baked good. This is probably because I love meringue something fierce.

I found some at a local Japanese convenience store. They weren't too bad.

>>2519058
lol They would judge you so hard if you just brought the coconut macaroons.

>>2520034
I can't stand coconut macaroons. Shit tastes like diabeetus.

>>2520046

THIS. I bought one from a bakery a few months ago just to try it but it was like baselining sugar straight into my arteries. That and the ones at the bakery were HUEG; idk if that's normal or not...

>>2520104
Are you American? This might be normal.

>>2520129

Yeah, I'm American so you're right...it's normal for here.
...which grosses me out D:

>>2520134
Just checking =). American too. I was on a portion "diet" and, fuck. Once my stomach got used to eating way less, I hate a mcdouble or whatever the fuck you call it. Just a 1.29 burger. I felt full for awhile. You'd be surprised by changing cups, plates, and portion sizes how the American serving size compares to the rest of the world :/. Just one regular macaroon felt too big for me. I had to drink something inbetween bites because it's way too sweet.

>>2520148
*had a McDouble

>>2520148

American portions were always way too big for me ever since I was a kid. But then after living in japan for several years I got used to not having FUCKLOADS of sugar in everything so I can't even stand most American sweets; ugh. Or sweet tea, for that matter. When my mom makes a pitcher of tea she puts FOUR FUCKING CUPS OF SUGAR IN IT; AUUUUGH WTFFFF SOUTHERN TEA!?!?!
However the American food style has one very redeeming factor:

FREE REFILLS.

>>2520169
FOUR CUPS OF SUGAR???? Does that even dissolve in a pitcher of tea? I'm imagining just drinking soggy sugar by that point.

>>2520646
You do it when it's hot to form a supersaturated solution.

>>2520653
lol nerd alert.

>>2520169

My family is southern. They make southern sweet tea. They've NEVER used four cups of sugar! One ROUNDED cup is all we've ever used.

>>2520669
All the families I've ever seen use at least 3 cups.

>>2518210

PRETTY PATTIES

>>2520669
Nigger that's because your family's diabetic and puts in 20 packets of aspartame after you're done.

>>2518210

You know what would be hilarious at a con? Someone setting up this exact stand selling those Macarons but labeled as Pretty Patties.

>>2520707
No patties. There's paste between the cookies.

>>2520717
*gone.

>>2520720
sweet paste, ganache, or lemon curd. <3 yum.

>>2520727
My favorites are the plain vanilla/almond cookie with a lemon curd and mascarpone filling. Not too sweet.

>>2520719
I'd buy one, if they were as large as burgers.

>>2520719

PURPLE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR

I wish I could make macarons but it's always too humid where I live.

>>2519099
Aren't macaroon's a Passover dessert? That's always when I eat them.

>>2520812
Macaroons are flour-free, so they make a good Kosher sweet. FYI, if you're looking for a non-flour cake check out pavlova. Very easy to make meringue cake from Australia or New Zealand depending on who you ask. It tastes a bit like a marshmallow--add lightly whipped cream and fresh fruit and it's delish.

>>2520812
That doesn't make sense if they're Scottish. Jews probably just adopted them because of the no-flour thing.

>>2521046
I only know the history of the macaron (Nancy, France, in the 1800s), but I always heard them called scottish macaroons. Maybe they're not Scottish--it's hard to picture the Highlander slicing up coconuts.

>>2520669

First question would be "how southern are we talking about?" Different geographical locations have different kinds of southern. But to give you an idea, in south Alabama....it's pretty standard to put so much sugar in your tea that you HAVE to mix it in hot or else it won't dissolve.

It's pretty fucked up and I stopped drinking the shit since I don't want to be a diabetic come my 26th b-day.

>>2521612
I live in South Alabama, and while most people do put fuckloads of sugar in their tea here, my family does not.
I can't stand sweets anyways. Even the word "sweets" makes me increasingly sick to my stomache.

>>2519099
I know, but if you look at other macaroons they're not the same either. All recipes differ.

But uhm..just to make it clear..So it's more of a typo here then? http://www.laduree.fr/public_en/produits/macarons_accueil.htm
Because it's macaron on the french site and macaroon on the english one D:

omg i ate one of these the other day....where tf did they come from...
o that's right it was starbucks. no wonder.
it was gud, iir.

They sell them at the lindt (chocolate brand :D) cafe here in Australia for $2, there are about 20 flavours, the vanilla one is to die for <3 I find it hard to eat more than one in the same sitting, they are very sweet/rich

>>2521975
There is a Lindt cafe?
now I need to go to Australia.

PRETTY PATTIES FTW

>>2521894

They're called "Macarons," but another name for them is "French Macaroons." So both are right.

>>2522372
No. It's not correct. It's an accepted practice among those who don't know what a macaron is.

some recipes for macarons call for a fuckton of sugar and are almost inedible but you're supposed to cut the sugar with the nuts in some magical ratio... the one time i tried to make them it was way to humid too and they got all runny and flat :(
