This time, it wasn't the mixture I got wrong. Turns out I just piped out the macrons like a grade A retard. They were all uneven in size, and apparently Oval = Circle to my brain. I also used my French Earl Gray tea, but the leaves are quite large and are hence unpleasant when you eat the macarons. So next time I will crush them into much smaller pieces.
I've learnt so much from this. The feet formed, the texture across the top is exactly as it should be. After I saw the mess I made of the piping, I didn't bother making a filling. haha Next time... next time. :D
It took me three goes at it before I got the technique down, and I still learn more every time I make them!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious though!
