02The craft

How a macaron comes together.

Skip the scene
Illustration of the classic French method, not a record of this kitchen's recipe.

  1. Pipe

    The batter is piped in neat rounds, the bag held straight above the tray.

  2. Rest

    The tray is tapped to settle the tips, then the shells rest until a light skin forms.

  3. Bake

    In the oven each shell rises on its ruffled “foot”.

  4. Fill

    One shell is turned over and a filling is piped onto it.

  5. Sandwich

    Its partner is pressed on top, and the filling meets the edge.

Florian Poirot's kitchen is in Malton, North Yorkshire. See the official macaron range (opens in a new tab)
