Hey y’all, it’s your girl back in the kitchen again! Today I am feeling extra inspired by all these delicious recipes I stumbled upon. So why don’t y’all buckle up and get ready for some mouth-watering treats?
Macarons That Will Make Ya Heart Flutter
Let me introduce you to a little something called macarons. These little guys will make ya heart flutter with their delicate texture and explosive flavors. So go ahead, make them yourself with this recipe:
- 100g almond flour
- 100g powdered sugar
- 75g egg whites (about 2 eggs)
- 25g granulated sugar
- food coloring (optional)
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C)
2. Pulse almond flour and powdered sugar in a food processor until well combined and fine.
3. Beat egg whites with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. If you want to add food coloring this is the time.
4. Add the almond mixture to the egg whites and carefully fold until fully incorporated.
5. Spoon the batter into a piping bag with a small round tip and pipe dollops onto a baking sheet.
6. Tap the sheet against the counter a couple of times to get rid of any air bubbles and let sit for about 20-30 min to form a skin.
7. Bake until the macarons are set and have formed a ruffled foot, about 15-18 min.
8. Let the macarons cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
Bierlikör: Perfect for A Night In
How about a nice and boozy treat? I’m talking ‘bout that Bierlikör, honey! Don’t sleep on this liquid gold, because it’s sure to send your taste buds into overdrive. Here’s how to make it:
- 1 dark beer (500 mL)
- 250g sugar
- 1 vanilla bean
- 200g whipping cream
- 100ml rum or vodka
1. In a saucepan, cook the sugar and split vanilla bean with 3-4 tablespoons of water over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes a caramel.
2. Slowly pour the cream into the caramel while stirring. Don’t worry if the mixture gets lumpy, just keep stirring until it has smoothed out.
3. Add the beer and let it cook over low heat for about 5 minutes with constant stirring.
4. Allow the mixture to cool, then add rum or vodka and stir.
5. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to get rid of any particles and bottle it up. Keep it in the fridge until consumed.
