Great blog.. I’m diving in… Today is the day that a macaron will emerge from my oven! Just one thing……. How different are your weights & measures to ours here down under! A couple of things I could recommend. This is the French method of making macarons. If you can’t get this to work,. I would try the Italian method using hot sugar syrup. They are still great, and can be more stable.

Wow- thank you so much for sharing this. I learned so much about macarons from reading this and now I’m thinking it’s time to finally pull up my big girl pants and try making some! grams (1/4 cup) superfine sugar (granulated sugar in food processor until fine), (1/4 cup granulated sugar or a little less than half a cup of confectioner's sugar if using that instead) Once you get your macarons piped, you’ll be happy to know that I encourage you to beat the daylights out of them. Hold the baking sheet a good foot or so above your table/floor/whatever flat, solid surface is nearby. Drop the pan (evenly) like Missy drops a beat. Repeat several times. Then do it once more. This ensures that all of the bubbles make their way out of the batter. If you don’t do this well, you will end up with hollow macarons. Find below different sizes, some people prefer to pipe their shells 1.75″ and some prefer 2″ shells. I personally like my shells slightly bigger, towards 2″. Those that were perfectly small inside the raised circles had a shiny surface underneath but with smaller ruffled feet;

Didn’t deflate enough when folding batter. You may need to mix a bit more. You actually want to deflate the batter slightly. Thank you for sharing your experience with macarons and the templates, etc. I have been messing around with them for a few years, off and on. I’m not a fan of them, but my daughter and her husband love them. So. It is a challenge that I want to master!

I used your guide to make my very first macarons and I am surprised they came out decent! I’ve been intimidated to start the process even though I bought all the ingredients and supplies a month ago. I just jumped in tonight and made one with An Oreo Buttercream. A macaron (say: mac-a-ron) is what you see (look up) there. A tiny, round, dainty little sweet thang that you will soon learn to perfectly bake.

The feet puffing out means not enough air was released while mixing. I would try with a bit more of a fold. You certainly don’t want to beat it, but you don’t have to baby it as much as you may think. That would be my best suggestion for trying again. A macaro on (say: mac-a-roon) is a more dense, large, blob-like, coconut-based sweet. [This post is pretty really long. I think it is worth reading, as I think there is some interesting history, etc. to share. If you just don’t feel like it, you can skip straight to the Making the Macarons part here.]Some will say at this point, you need to rest the macarons forever. Others will say that you can pop them directly into the oven. The risk in not aging the macaron shells is that you will ruin the opportunity for the “feet” (the less smooth part under the glossy tops) to form while baking. I was taught to rest the shells and tend to agree with this, having had poor results without resting the piped rounds. I recommend just letting them sit for 30 minutes on the baking sheets. You will notice that they harden and appear a bit glossy already. This is good! Read this with interest!! I thought I was being very clever in buying the silicone mats ( I even tried 2 different ones!) but have to say I get much better results on baking parchment too!!! And cleaning them is a nightmare!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve been wanting to make these for a long time but never had the courage to do so. After watching a few videos and resading a few recipes, I decided to use your’s. This is a fun template, when I made it, I also added a royal icing decoration to the foam part, and painted the mug with food coloring to add some details to the macaron. As you can see, the whole process is made easy with the mat's round grooves to make perfectly round mendiant chocolate disks. Spoon melted chocolate right to the edges of the raised circles then wait for them to set.
