Salted Pretzel Macarons, 3 Years Blogging, and 3 GIVEAWAYS!

So I had an idea, and it’s been cruising through my brain for months now. I wasn’t sure it would work, but I had to try it. Things just kept getting in the way, and soon it was in limbo, wanting to move on, but unable to move out. Well, I finally got to it, and I’m finally taking part in a MacTweet – regardless of that bendy joint in between my thigh and calf that tries to ‘trip’ me up. If I had a nickel for every time the word ‘knee’ has been used on this blog…. I’d have about 75 cents.
This month’s MacTweets theme is ‘Ballpark Snacks – Take me out to the Ballgame’, aka, food you usually find at a ballgame - as or in a macaron. It sort of went like this…
“Jamie (MacTweet co-founder, along with Deeba)! I came up with this amazing salted pretzel macaron, the shell really tastes like a pretzel, well, a sweet pretzel, like the chocolate dipped pretzels..but I did add powdered mustard to a white chocolate ganache..blah blah..zzzzz”
Then I lucked out, Jamie made this month’s theme a baseball one. Big, soft, hot, chewy pretzels with gobs of mustard, at a Yankee game. Yes, that is the life, well, while I’m there, even though I haven’t been to one in a while. I’m pretty sure, if I recall, you can get chocolate dipped, crunchy pretzels too, at the new Yankee Stadium. SO, I began to whip up my second go round of this macaron I created about 2 months or so ago.
Time to digress…
While I waited for the first batch of macarons to dry (the wrinkly ones – see below), I dug into some spicy, cold sesame noodles. I was bored, so I ate one noodle at a time. I’ve never done that before, and in fact, get annoyed when anyone eats anything uber small or skinny one piece at a time. (Remember, Jerry Seinfeld dumped a girl because she ate her peas one at a time). First off, the noodles better have a good sauce coating them, one full of flavor, or else it won’t work, way too dull to enjoy a single noodle at a time. The longer I write about this, the stranger I feel, and the stranger I think you think I am.
On your left, the salted pretzel powder. This one needed to be sifted just once or twice more, as you can see there’s still tiny shell bits in it. On the right, The color your finished macarons should be - similar to graham cracker crumbs, to emulate a golden, baked pretzel. I placed two small pretzel sticks on top to show you. However, and very important, you want your tant pour tant about two shades lighter than mine above, as the color deepens when folded with the egg whites. The wrinkled macarons below were made from this tant pour tant. See how much darker they are than the original tant pour tant above – which looks to be the perfect baked pretzel color match?
I discovered something in this odd ‘one noodle at a time’ dining experience. You will not finish the noodles. I was satisfied with half the bowl. This is a good thing if trying to eat light or diet. This is not a good thing for your dining companion. Do it only when you’re alone. That is when most of us gorge anyway, right?
The above are filled with Nutella. The rest of the photos, just plain, dark chocolate ganache. AS promised, I supplied a recipe for the white chocolate – mustard ganache, below, even though I couldn’t show it to you in a macaron.
Ok, back to macarons, and guess what? Two so-called ‘Lisa’ disasters! I think it’s getting to the point where a disaster is to be expected with every new post here, huh?
1. My first batch – the tops just deflated and wrinkled. No idea why. They looked like the victims of years of too much sun worshipping. Tan 1.5-inch raisin rounds. If anyone has a clue, please fill me in. There have been no feet, flat shells, too poofy shells, too big feet, but never wrinkly faces. They’re being bitches again.
2. Second batter spilled into my lap. I don’t even want to say how.
This is the ‘too dark - wrinkled’ batch. No idea why, what, how. Never seen this before in any macarons I’ve made.
OK, I had a choice, try again or use these photos from my first try creating the salted pretzel macaron. They sat in my photo program as a sort of a back-up in case of bitchiness. The color was off, the feet were weird, I piped so quickly I ended up with too many baby shells, I accidentally sprinkled pretzel salt on all the drying shells, instead of every other one, and the photos..no words. BUT, they had to do, since I wasn’t sure I had the time or patience to make them again within the next two weeks, so here they are – this is them. Are you happy, bitchy macaron goddesses?
I basically took one shot of them from different distances. No idea why I used a blue mug and red ribbon. If I had not encountered any problems the second and third time around, I had some great deep background ideas, soft and crispy pretzels, chocolate and mustard as props, all broken, crumbs etc, and, I was going to fill them with this perfect white chocolate -mustard ganache I came up with. I think these will be making another appearance on this blog, the way I planned, before X-Mas. (Like I was going to perfect my Twoffle for another entry, and the third Levain Copycat attempt I keep promising everyone. I’m a bad blogger)
Ok, I must to digress again (this entry is all over the place!). This past weekend there was a BlogHer convention. Those who attended were tweeting all kinds of advice from the diifferent workshops they attended, from social media to photography. One hint that stuck in my head ‘Try not use ‘I‘ very often – don’t make it about yourself’. This entry is riddled with ‘I”s’, Should I speak in third person? I’m 100% sure I made these macarons, and I’m pretty sure it is about the macarons, but they wouldn’t exist if not for me, right? At this juncture, I really can’t wrap my head around that one.
OK..back to macarons ONCE AGAIN. Even though you didn’t get to see my perfectly ‘pretzel colored’ macs, you can see the color in the tant pour tant photo above. Notice the pretzel stick I placed to show you how close the color was? Well..as mentioned above..under the photo of it, you have to go about two shades lighter than that because when folded with the egg whites, the color deepens considerably. I said it twice because it sucked for me when that tant pour tant turned a deep, reddish brown after being combined with the whites, definitely not a golden, baked pretzel looking shell. Those were the wrinkled ones, so I assume they wrinkled in protest of the color they had to wear. Bitches. That perfectly baked pretzel colored tant pour tant was the batter that became my lap puppy. Again, bitches.
Americolor, equal parts warm brown and egg yolk, 1 part gold.
I color the tant pour tant and let it dry overnight. You don’t have to do that. You can color the egg whites while beating, or drop in the color during your ’50 strokes’.
Some of those ‘baby’ macarons from inconsistent pressure on the piping bag.
All in all, if you love sweet, dipped pretzels, these shells hit that flavor perfectly. Fill them with whatever you like, from sweet to savory, you won’t be disappointed!
Now onto the good part, minus the whining and bitching. Myy three year blogiversary is upon me. (ME ME ME..again). It’s actually May 26th, but I probably won’t have a post up on the 26th, so I want to celebrate it now….with 3 Giveaways! I love you guys, and love that you like my blog.

All three winners will be chosen via random integer on Jun 2nd, so that’s 12 days you have to enter! Good luck, everyone!
Salted Pretzel Macarons with Chocolate Ganache
Salted Pretzel Macarons
1 cup icing sugar
3/4 cup almond meal
2 tablespoons pretzel powder (method follows)
2 large egg whites
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pretzel salt or coarse salt
Warm Brown, Egg Yolk Yellow and Gold Americolor gel pastes
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the powdered sugar, pretzel powder, and almonds in a food processor and give them a good pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Add in the gel food colors and pulse until you reach a golden pretzel color you’re satisfied with. I used about 3-4 drops of each of brown and yellow, plus 1 big drop of gold, for 2 egg white macarons. Let the tant pour tant dry overnight, or spread on a cookie sheet and let dry in a turned off oven for a few hours.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites to a foam, gradually add the sugar until you obtain a glossy meringue. Do not overbeat your meringue or it will be too dry.
3. Add the tant pour tant (nut, sugar, pretzel powder amalgamation) to the beaten eggg whites and sugar. Give it a quick fold to break some of the air and then fold the mass carefully until you obtain a batter that falls back on itself after counting to 10. Give quick strokes at first to break the mass and slow down. The whole process should not take more than 50 strokes. Test a small amount on a plate: if the tops flattens on its own you are good to go. If there is a small beak, give the batter a couple of turns.ntil you obtain a batter that falls back on itself after counting to 10.
4. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip (Ateco #807 or #809) with the batter and pipe small rounds (1.5 inches in diameter) onto parchment paper or silicone mats lined baking sheets. Lightly sprinkle every other round with pretzel or coarse salt.
5. Preheat the oven to 300F. Let the macarons sit out for 30 minutes to an hour to harden their shells a bit and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on their size. Let cool. If you have trouble removing the shells, pour a couple of drops of water under the parchment paper while the sheet is still a bit warm and the macarons will lift up more easily do to the moisture. Don’t let them sit there in it too long or they will become soggy. Once baked and if you are not using them right away, store them in an airtight container out of the fridge for a couple of days or in the freezer. To fill: pipe or spoon about 1 big tablespoon of ganache in the center of one shell and top with another one.
Salted Pretzel Powder
About 2 handfuls of lightly salted pretzel bites, or thin sticks, or twists, shape doesn’t matter
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a food processor, grind the pretzels as fine as you can. Now this is the important part, you need to sift the powder because small bits of the golden shell do not break down to a fine powder.
White Chocolate – Mustard Ganache
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon mustard powder
3/4 cup white chooclate
Yellow gel paste..optional
DIRECTIONS:
1. Boil the cream and the mustard powder in a saucepan and pour over the chocolate in a bowl. Let it sit for a minute and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Add 1 or two drops yellow gel paste color and stor until uniform and a yellow mustard color. Add more if needed. Let ganache sit in the refrigerator overnight and whip the next day until a thick cream is formed. You don’t have to whip it, you can just stir and pipe it on as is, a more truffle like consistency.
2. Pipe or spoon about 1 big tablespoon of ganache in the center of one plain shell and top with a salted shell.

Those are so adorable! I don’t watch any sports except roller derby, and I always get a hot dog at those matches. So I guess my sports food is hot dogs.
I will not be making hot dog macarons though.

These look fantastic! Love that you used “pretzel powder” to make them. That’s awesome. If I were a sports viewer, I’d probably order a hot-dog, or popcorn. I looooove popcorn. Yeah, I’d definitely order popcorn!
Comment by Jan— May 22, 2011 #
These sound absolutely amazing, and I suddenly want to make chocolate-covered pretzels. I’m just imagining how awesome the texture must be in macaron form!
Congrats on three years!

I can’t wait to try this new recipe

Oh goodness. These look delicious. I don’t really go to sporting events, but if/when I do…I’m much more likely to eat a hotdog than I am any other time of the year.

Comment by Justine— May 22, 2011 #
Happy just-about-blogaversary! It has been about a million and a half years since I went to a sporting event, but you just can’t beat pretzels and nachos at those things. YUM!
Those macaroons look great and sound yummy! Sorry half of the effort wound up in your lap, but you wound up with a fun post and great pictures regardless!
Comment by Shelley C— May 22, 2011 #
Every year when I go to the Syracuse basketball games, I have to talk myself out of getting a hot dog. I’m a sucker for them at the game!! the tall beer that comes with it doesn’t help either.

Comment by Jessica— May 22, 2011 #
I am not a sporting fan. But I love macarons. Have had successes and utter failures making them- still can not figure out what works and what doesn’t! And I think the blue mug and the red ribbon give a good contrast to the pretzel colored macarons!
Comment by Shumaila— May 23, 2011 #
My favorite food to eat at a sporting event is salted peanuts, which is funny because it is the only time I ever eat them. I think a salted peanut and caramel macaron would be awesome! If I win, I will definitely try it out.

I’ve just stumbled upon your blog and I think it’s great! Pretzel macarons sounds awesome despite all the adventures you went through to get it “perfect”. I so would love to try one but I suck at making macarons! I just have to admure them through your pictures
What I like to eat at sporting events is a good ol’ meat pie or sausage roll.

Comment by Heavenly Housewife— May 23, 2011 #
Yay! Glad you got to join in Mactweets this time Lisa. I still haven’t made mine yet, eep. Lucky you had the back up photos, they look incredible. And I’d love a salted pretzel macaron. Actually, I was just thinking about the “I” issue today as well. Not sure how to go about it , perhaps start using the royal “we”?
And happy anniversary! (Not sure if I’m eligible though).
Comment by shaz— May 23, 2011 #
My favorite sporting event food is french fries with soft pretzels a close second. I loved reading this post. Congratulations on 3 years and this giveaway is fabulous.
I made pistachio macs for May’s MacTweets but haven’t posted about them yet. Chocolate and pretzels are a great combination. You did a beautiful job.

It’s not too often that I go to sporting events, but when I do I gravitate towards hot dogs and nachos!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Such a fun flavor for macs. I usually opt for ice cream at sporting events.
Comment by Barbara Bakes— May 23, 2011 #
The popcorn, the smell is irresistible, and then of course you must have a soft drink.

I love eating buttery, salty popcorn during any sporting event (actually I love eating it during any event lol) but I absolutely must have a small stash of peanut butter for dipping! It sounds crazy but warm popcorn and peanut butter is a match made I heaven!

I love a hot dog at sporting events. I could pass on them the rest of the time but something about eating one at a ball field that I love!
Comment by Ingrid— May 23, 2011 #
I haven’t made a macaron yet, but yours sound so tasty I may have to take the plunge soon!
I think my favorite thing to eat during a baseball game is cold pizza, popcorn, and red licorice. We usually bring it because food at the ball park is so outrageously overpriced. If we splurge and buy there it is usually fish and chips.
Comment by Kim— May 23, 2011 #
Call me traditional, but I have to have a hot dog at a sporting event. And if it’s really hot outside, a frozen lemonade…yumm!

Happy 3-year blogiversary! Those macarons looks absolutely incredible. I’m very jealous of your macaron skills.
I don’t really go to sporting events (I should sort that out), but I would probably eat a hotdog with mustard and onions. YUM. Actually, the sporting event I really want to go to is Wimbledon, so strawbs and cream in that case.

I can’t offer you any advice on macarons – I’m a total failure at them. But congrats on 3 years of blogging! I don’t go to sporting events as often as I’d like, but the one food that sticks out in my mind is the amazing basket of garlic fries that I had at a Padres game a couple years ago! They should serve those in every ballpark.
Comment by Jeanne— May 23, 2011 #
The sweet salty combination of flavors in these macaroons is terrific! congrats on three years of blogging!

Nachos or a hotdog (sometimes both)
Comment by Jocie— May 24, 2011 #
Okay so I love the idea of pretzel macarons! Of course nutella will be a great filling, but I must test this white chocolate mustard ganache. I can’t wrap my head around why you shouldn’t use I in your blog either…. Um it’s your blog and you’re writing about your creations! Anyway congrats on 3 years
Comment by Meghan— May 24, 2011 #
Here I am pulling up the rear at 110 with my puny comment
. Wondering if the wrinkles were due to a lack of fat normally in nuts which go in macrons. Did I miss something? Anyhoo, the idea is way cool and as usual, I bow to your awesomeness because I’m too lazy to be this creative! By looking at the comments, clearly they read something I didn’t. Um. Nachos? Hahaha!

Whoa – I’ve always been too scared to make macaroons… but I HAVE to try these. Stat.
I’m so simple at ballgames – slaw dog and a cold beer. If I’m reallllly craving it, I’ll treat myself to a fried Oreo (apparently you can fry ANYTHING).

We have a baseball team here in Charleston, SC, called the Riverdogs. At a Riverdogs game, nothing is better to munch on than boiled peanuts! Except maybe a corn dog. And some ice cream. And a bear. Maybe a pretzel…
But I digress – BOILED PEANUTS!

These look awesome!! And happy blogger anniversary. I just started blogging in February, so you give me something to shoot for. I love your idea about the give away too. Anyways, what I like to eat at sporting events is 1- I have to have a hot dog. I don’t care if it’s baseball or figure skating, I wanna hot do! And 2- I gotta have some cotton candy. It’s something I’ve always loved and if they have it, I’m eating it. Congrats again

Comment by Simone— May 28, 2011 #
These are so awesome, and so cute! The concept is tops, and the execution is even better! I’m surprised you pulled off putting salt on the macaron shells: the one time I tried that, the salt corroded the shell, so now I put any required salt inside the filling.
Comment by Valerie— May 28, 2011 #
Love the look and sound of the macarons. I still suck at making them and wouldn’t dare another post on them until I can actually have them come out.
When I lived in NY I went to MANY Yankee and Ranger games. I did’t eat much, but does drinking large amounts of beer count??

What an interesting take on macarons. I think I’d really enjoy those. As for sporting event fare, I’m from Wisconsin, and Brewers baseball is synonymous with sausages. Usually it’s the Polish for me, with spicy mustard.

Comment by Brooks at Cakewalker— June 2, 2011 #
Just came over from Chef Dennis’ site after looking at the gorgeous dessert with Brian skating on top. Great post over there! Those macarons are incredible as well. I adore the fact that you point out your flops. I end up just dumping mine in the trash, throwing a silent hissy fit and popping open a can of Diet Coke. Humor is much better.
I guess I’m supposed to tell you what I like, eh? That would be hot dogs. Even though I know they contain nasty body parts, I love hot dogs.
Comment by The Mom Chef— June 2, 2011 #
These are amazing and I love how you documented the frustrating process. I also made a wrinkly batch of macarons by trying to add ground freeze dried strawberries. The shell is so hard to experiment with! This week I’m going to my first baseball game in 7 or 8 years…somehow baseball was in the air as we got invited yesterday after I started noticing the new baseball macs were up!
Comment by Rollerscrapper— June 8, 2011 #
How many tablespoons of the strawberry powde did you add to the macs? Thing is, I added 2 with all batches, and that was the only batch that wrinkled. Could have been that I didn’t sift the pretzel powder well enough that time..but, I’m guessing.
—————-
On another note, awesome that you’re going to your first bb game in years! What teams?
Comment by lisamichele— June 8, 2011 #
