Very helpful! No harm in having to have a few trial runs on these things, though - means more taste-testing! ;-)Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645883799759203673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568586156818852710.post-60688555677204617722010-06-27T10:10:35.051+12:002010-06-27T10:10:35.051+12:00Hi - I just stumbled upon your blog after doing a ...Hi - I just stumbled upon your blog after doing a google search on macarons. There are a lot of people out there in blogland trying to perfect them, including me. I had trouble with the feet spreading sideways and discovered it happens when your oven is too hot. I was baking them at 130C as well, so I upturned a muffin tray and placed the baking tray on top of that, for cooking. And also put Rustic Tartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967227948155088471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568586156818852710.post-62853319663642030462010-06-26T21:58:49.869+12:002010-06-26T21:58:49.869+12:00Thanks Michelle! ;-) Gotta be careful with that sp...Thanks Michelle! ;-) Gotta be careful with that spelling - macaroons are made with coconut, and are also delicious, but macarons are just egg white, almond meal and sugar. And you should try making them - then you could have one (or two. Or three...). ;-)Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645883799759203673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568586156818852710.post-83574658189052257462010-06-26T19:00:47.028+12:002010-06-26T19:00:47.028+12:00I've never had a macaroon...... =(

I think reading about so many others trying made it easy for me - I remember reading about yours and have had them in my mind as something to make for ages so scour every macaron post I see for tips! <br /><br />I did use tweezers, but my goodness, that stuff is crazy to try to control!

I store my almond meal in the fridge as I buy a big bag of it and that meant no feet for a few batches until I realised that that was the issue. And yes gold leaf is hard to work with. I usually use tweezers but even that is hard!Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigellahttp://www.notquitenigella.comnoreply@blogger.com
