My first ever attempt at macaroons - they went a bit brown on top but otherwise I was really pleased with them!
I've also decided to ignore the tyrannical bakers why seem to insist that everything is the same shape, colour and size - I'm taking a stand, people!
(This stand may or may not have been precipitated by realising I lost my piping bag when we moved house...)
These are the filled macaroons. As you can see, I haven't mixed these quite enough (they are not smooth and glossy enough), but I was scared to overmix them. I've made a note of the number of stirs though, so I can attempt to get it right. Cooking time was from The Pink Whisk this time, although I did prop the oven door open slightly, as most recipes seem to concur that this is needed. Anyway, even if the texture is not quite right, they taste scrummy.
