I'm glad other people had more success: I found it really frustrating.<br /><br />Anon- glad you liked it. I found the recipe the easiest of the macaroon ones I tried, though a little fiddling and watching of the oven is needed as timing is pretty key. Similarly if you over-stir the batter after adding the almonds then the macaroons tend to be a bit flat (and in contrast if they rise too much, or don't get feet, then stirring a little more helped in my experience).Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089683116903121790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648756272651410798.post-5517392110939625482010-07-20T21:36:38.274+00:002010-07-20T21:36:38.274+00:00Dear Paula,

Beautiful little feet and shiny tops (so exciting that I hunted down my father and insisted he looked at them, even though he'd never seen a Macaron before, nor has any interest in baking.Beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754376986389173229noreply@blogger.com
