A macaron (/ˌmækəˈrɒn/MAK-ə-RON,[1][2]French:[makaʁɔ̃]ⓘ)
or French macaroon (/ˌmækəˈruːn/MAK-ə-ROON)
is a sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond meal, and often food colouring.[3]
Since the 19th century, a typical Parisian-style macaron is a sandwich cookie filled with a ganache, buttercream or jam.
As baked, the circular macaron displays a smooth, square-edged top, a ruffled circumference—referred to as the "crown" or "foot" (or "pied")—and a flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth.
Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavours that range from traditional sweet such as raspberry or chocolate to savoury (as a foie gras).[4]
