i had another go at macarons tonight, and i think they look wonderful!
i used the recommended portions of confectioner's sugar (160g) and almond meal (120g) this time.
also, my egg whites were properly aged (in the fridge 5 days before baking and left out on the counter for two days before baking).
finally, i mixed the batter a bit more. i think i have the consitancy down now.
these ones are lemon flavored for ryan's birthday.
to bake, i set the oven to 310 degrees F, turned it down to 300 and put the macarons in for 10 minutes. the bottoms are a little sticky. there's a batch in the oven right now that i am going to try leaving in a little longer (maybe 12 minutes) to see what difference that makes with stickyness.
there are huge air pockets in them, but that's not my biggest concern yet.
i'm so pleased these ones look more like macarons on the outside, and less like... weird pink cat vomit. tasty cat vomit. okay.
