- This recipe yields 25 macarons, serves 10 to 12.
- Piping Tip - While piping EACH macarons on to the baking sheet, count to One Two Three and stop piping and remove the pastry bag vertically up. Counting will help pipe macarons evenly. ( if you find small peaks on the piped circles, it will settle down automatically ).
- If you find that the bottoms of the cookies browning too much, double sheet your baking pans when you bake next time.
- Broken Meringue - Do not over beat the Meringue, it will break and look grainy . Egg whites will break and you can see it scattered into small tiny pieces like on the sides of the whipping bowl.
- Batter Consistency - Folding the meringue gently into almond flour and powdered sugar is a critical step in making the macarons, the process is called macaronage. To cut through in the center and fold around in circle is important. Make sure to scrap the sides and bottom of the bowl while folding. When you notice the both the meringue and almond-sugar mixture is incorporated, Stop and Start testing your batter. Take some batter in the spatula and drop it back into the bowl, batter should flow very slowly like thick batter consistency and not runny (should not flow/fall fast - if the batter is runny , then you have over mixed it ). Batter should fold into itself like a ribbon.
- Feet Problem - After baking If the macarons have no feet , then the batter is under mixed or you have rested the macarons for too long after piping.
- How to fix over baked Macaron? - It is better to over bake the macarons than under bake it. When under baked it cannot be fixed , macarons stick to the baking pan or get crumbled when you try to separate it from the parchment paper. But if you over bake it , macarons can get browned , become crispy and some hollowness below the top shell might be there. The filling inside and more maturation time will help the macaron get moistened and make the cookie little softer.
