Following our horrible first attempt at making French Macaroons at Bun's place sometime back, I tried to bake another batch 2 days ago.
Conclusion: Another failed attempt. The shells were too airy and weren't able to harden. It makes use of the simplest ingredients; just egg-whites, sugar, and almond powder but the techniques involved are so tricky! I followed the recipe really closely and did just what the recipe asked for; nope, it didn't work. Went online to check again and realized I forgot to let the piped shells settle for at least 30 minutes before sending them into the oven. I ate a number of these 'failed shells', and interestingly, while they don't look the part, they somehow tasted the part; there was the chewy consistency.
Ah well, I have enough ingredients to try a second time before the school starts.
