Now I've tried 2 different step by step guide (by people on blogspot with pictures so THEY did it why can't I?!) and failed each time, getting angrier and angrier I have NO idea what I'm doing wrong! They just seem to sink when they come out the over, crumble and stick.
This is a probaly just a case of it being me and I'm actually bad at everything I do but if anybody can help me then PLEASE do (my email is on my profile info) or reply here.
Here are the pictures of the ones that have kind of worked but crumbled on top making them hanging on simply by the middle choclate butter icing I made.
They were very sweet and kinda gross.
So any help would be really appreciated!
I hope you all had a great bank holiday, what did you get upto?

I wouldn't worry too much - Macaroons are notoriously hard to make. French pastry chefs make them to show off how good they are. I am impressed you managed at all!

Stop following guides literally just fold the almond/icing mix into the egg whites and pipe. The less fuss the better I say, also bake on two baking trays, one inside the other. Try the nigella macaron recipe on my blog, it's the first one I ever tried and is really simple, it always seems to work a treat. By the looks of it your batter has been over mixed, I have good mac days and bad but I do love them so x
ReplyDeleteEven if they didn't turn out okay, they were still on some cute plates! ;)
ReplyDeleteI dont know if you have heard of the TV show 'The Great British Bake-off' but it is a new baking show and last week they were baking macaroons. I'm thinking they may have some recipes on the website you could try? Im not sure, but I think they might. It would be on the BBC site :) Good luck!
ReplyDelete@Chrisina thankyou this makes me feel so much better! haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help ladies I will cool off for a week and re-try with a fresh mind! x
ha they actually still look yummy to me!
