Macarons

I admired those lovely macarons on other people blogs so decided to start making my own. 1st attempt doesn't dry up after resting time and turned up hard after baking.

Coincidentally, Mayer Marketing organised baking class on Macarons and Profiteroles. I signed up for it to see and find out how to make. Ingredients for the recipe were distributed to all participants to try at home. I tried and the resting time was fine but i overbaked cause I increased the baking time as the base stick to the parchment paper. It turned out very hard indeed.

Never give up attitude set me to try again. This time i have to invest in a silicone pad or silpat mat. Gone shopping for it and found (can't remember what is it called) at Phoon Huat. $3 per piece.

So my 3rd attempt does turn up well even though the surface is not smooth but still has a happy "feet".

Green Macarons with Chocolate Ganache

Lesson learnt from this:
1. Must have a proper mat or paper to lay the macarons.
2. Must take time to sieve the ground almond.
3. Must have a template to pipe the macarons so that it will have a even shape for all.

So just wait for my next macarons.....
See ya.
Sweet Mummy always.
