That was by far the best video! I loved the visual showings! Thank yoouuuu, now I might give the macarons a second time :)
Oh yay!!! I'm so so glad it was helpful! Definitely give them a second try, they'll be worth it 😊
this has alot of helpful information. But you didn't touch the subject of humidity.
Bom dia ❤
Amazing! thank you very much for this thorough and concise walkthrough. It really is 'confidence building' and inspirational. I guess it will come down to more practice and possibly more mess-ups. But everything you showed makes sense, and I as you spoke I could tell that I have not yet achieved any of the steps you outlined properly. Can I be cheeky and ask if you have any pointers for the duration of the resting time, as I am not sure if I have been allowing enough time? (1 hour) Thanks very much once again 🙂
Yes, more practice will definitely help you bake up successful macarons!
I typically allow the batter to sit on the counter and dry for 45 - 60+ minutes until a thin "skin" develops, and you can touch the tops without ruining the macaron. This may take up to 90+ minutes if you live in a humid climate, or it's a rainy day. Many people don't rest long enough, and this can cause cracked macarons, so more time is better if you're in doubt.
