We tried a shortcut today while making our second-ever batch of macarons. Instead of making our own almond flour, which was messy and took a lot of time with the food processor, we bought Trader Joe’s almond meal.
Mistake! The macarons are the wrong color, far too brown and speckled, instead of pale golden.
But we did bake them longer this time, so they didn’t collapse and stick to the parchment.
Practice WILL make perfect.
Tomorrow, we’ll make the buttercream, add some red or green food color gel, and put the cookies together in time for a little party.
