I've had many more failures on macaron,that whole batch came in a waste. Sometimes shells are cracked,have no feet or skirt, not smooth or overlooked. My experience on making successful macaron is all about a little care,attention and learning too.
After some research on making successful macaron,I've learnt some of basic information on macaron methods. There are three different basic methods of making macarons...
• the French method, is most commonly used for authentic French macaron. French meringue is created by whipping together egg whites and granulated sugar, then adding almond mixture soon after getting stiff consistency.
• the italian method, is relies on correct temperature (reached 118) of hot syrup by whipping into egg whites until stiff forms.
• the swiss method, is whipping egg whites on double boiler...this must be very careful so not to get the egg white to cook.
Since googling for past 2-3 months, and many unsuccessful attempts of making macarons,I came across very familiar food blogger wenddyinkk's macaron recipes. She has described more on macaron methods in very simple ways. I've learnt and experienced her simple italian method and it's turned well. I would like to thank her at this time for being my guidance through out my successful attempts. Therefore, I would like share my tips and tricks on making macaron with my experiences..
Weather
Choosing humidity on making macaron certainly an important matter. I did not choose humidity upon making macaron,since today was raining day. So I have just popped my piped macarons into oven. No rest needed.
Eggs
I've used freshly cracked eggs for my macarons. Doesn't shows any fails.
