macaron maniac





If you're one of my close friends or family, you would know that I'm currently obsessed with baking macarons. The first time I attempted to make them, boy I was  pumped with excitement, only to fail, and so was my second, third and fourth time and who knows how many times I tried after that. The mixture was too runny or too thick, feet didn't form, the shells cracked, they discoloured... oh the heart ache. 

But after a lot of blood, sweat and tears ( and a lot of determination might I add), I came across a legendary recipe I found on the internet which simply just worked. 

Recipe:
For the Macarons
120g egg whites, divided
35g sugar
150g finely ground almonds
150g confectioners sugar

For the sugar syrup:
150g sugar & 50g water

The recipe and method can be found at the original site ;
