Better Baking Academy: Erin Clarkson Makes Macaron Magic

Welcome to the third module in our Better Baking Academy, our one-year baking education series. This month, it’s all about macarons! First, Brian and Kyle Grace break down the amazing new recipe, Vanilla Bean Macarons with Strawberry Buttercream. Aided by Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour, our delicate macarons are speckled with rich vanilla bean seeds and filled with a luscious Strawberry Buttercream—the perfect recipe to begin exploring the grand, adventurous world of French macarons. Then, we talk with Erin Clarkson, macaron maker extraordinaire and the baker behind Cloudy Kitchen, for some masterful macaron wisdom. Erin troubleshoots common macaron problems, which essential tools you need to have on-hand, and how to play with the decoration.
