Lemon Poppy Seed [French] Macarons

I love baking and something that I have been practicing is french macarons. It’s honestly the hardest cause you never know how it’ll turn out until its out of the oven. I am always on the edge of my seat when I make them, and that’s probably why I keep trying and trying. The main thing that shows I succeeded is when the macarons have the “feet” on them when baking. If you don’t already know the “feet” is the crinkly/bubbly/flaky looking thing that is around the bottom of the macaron.

I have been using the same recipe that I found from YouTube and it is very simple compared to some other recipes I’ve found. Now this time I wanted to add my own flare to it, so I decided to make some lemon poppy seed flavored macarons. All I did was add poppy seeds and some lemon zest (for the top of the macaron), BUT I made my own lemon cream recipe!

For the recipe you’re going to need everything that it says from the youtube video and your also just gonna add a

1/2 tsp. of poppy seeds

5-6 drops of yellow food coloring

(FYI watch the video for the full on in depth recipe, but this is a general idea of the macarons I made)
