My latest baking adventure has been a return to making macarons. I went a bit crazy buying almond meal a few months back and now that they will expire in a few months I thought I'd better get cracking on using it up.
So this time round its Chocolate biscuit and raspberry filling for the macarons.
I modified the vanilla recipe by adding cocoa powder, but did not realise untill later that there was a specific modification to the other quantities. Whoops!
Anyhow, here are the batches:
Batch 1 and 2 = Fail, cos overcooked/burnt/cracked
Batch 3 = Perfect after I worked out how to avoid the cracking
Batch 4 = Cracked but still good
The crappy 1st and 2nd and 4th batches - uneven sizes and cracked, burnt
Ah sweet success - I have finally worked out how to pipe properly! Check out the smooth tops!
Next time round - Raspberry Biscuit and Vanilla filling. I have also said to my friend I'll make Green Tea Macarons for them for their birthday.
