The month of November is well and truly underway which means a new baking challenge! This month we will be attempting the French macaroon or macaron. Not to be confused with the coconut biscuit of the same name! The macaron as we know it today was created by Pierre Desfontaines. Desfontaines worked for the famous tea salon Ladurée and first attempted to sandwich 2 pieces of macaron together with a filling.
Macarons come in all different flavours from chocolate, pistachio and raspberry with fillings varying from jam and butter cream. These gorgeous sweet treats are very much the biscuit du jour! Fun and colourful they make the perfect gift. As we are heading towards the festive season (all going well!) perhaps our friends and family will benefit from our bake this month…!
