My MO-obsession (baking with
rice flour) has returned, and this time, it's the MOcaron. Now that I know exactly what to do when it comes to macaron-making, substituting almond flour with other ingredients is not that hard. Having said that, I had no idea whether rice flour would work.
Since the
first recipe I used to make macarons back in 2008, I've kept modifying it, and the best measurements I've found are:
4 egg whites (rested for about a day or two)
250 g powder sugar
140 g rice flour
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
Since I've covered the method repeatedly, I won't bore you with it again. Refer to the Matcha Macaron post for
my perfected method to make the batter.
I recently cleaned my oven so I could take good pictures of what happens while the macarons bake for ten minutes.
Minute Two:
Minute Three:
Minute Four:
Minute Five:
Minute Seven:
Rice flour seems to create higher leg than almond flour.
I made a simple chocolate ganache and it looks like a mini burger! Aren't they so cute?
Kayoko's face right behind one of the MOcaron is very cute and appetizing don't you think?
I also made another batch with green tea powder. Basically, I added
one tablespoon of green tea powder to the above recipe to make a nice and subtle green color. For this one, I mixed
Blue Hill's jam with a bit of whipped cream.
I should open a MOcaron shop. It's far cheaper to use rice flour, plus almond flour gets staled pretty quickly because it has a lot oil in the nut, but rice flour is the same exact form for a long long time.
I love making macarons.

Hi Xuan, I don’t know where you live, but in the US, you can buy Mochiko, and it’s sticky rice flour.
Very cool recipe. I’ve just been making Mac’s for about 3 months and love the
Asian twist. I will be attempting to make these with Azuki filling. Hope it comes out like yours ! One question, do I still dry the cookies for 1 hour ?
Frances, thanks for your comment. I always dry my mac for about an hour (or even longer until it doesn’t stick to finger), so yes, I leave them to dry. I know some people don’t do this process, but I believe this makes my mac a success every time.
hi~!! thank u for this recipe. I’ve tried this recipe twice and I failed!! ahaha but what I found was that I couldn’t get the right consistency…it was very stiff. what is the problem? (and I folded it a lot of times!!)
I made them last night and filled it with Azuki paste. Mine does’t look quite like yours but it was YUMMY ! My family loved them !!! Thanks so much for this recipe its a keeper. :-)
Do you sell these or know of a place that does? I am desperately trying to find rice flour macarons for my daughters but free birthday. Thanks!
HI babe, moto. arigato for your recipe. Just curious to know the exact weight of your egg whites since differnet country will prob has different sizes of eggs.
