When the Queen was out for lunch one sunny day, she passed by this fancy pastry shop and saw nice colorful cookies behind the glass display. The queen got shocked to see the price: $2.50 for a piece that's just as big as a 50cent coin! "Ridiculous!", The Queen exclaimed. This piqued the Queen's curiosity and didn't manage to sleep that night. She's still wondering why that tiny little pastry are overly damn expensive for it's size! So she researched again and figured that those tiny fellas are called French Macarons (not the coconut macaroons with double O). She was told that these dainties are very fiddly and quite challenging to make even though it's only consisting of 3 main ingredients: almond flour, egg and sugar. The Queen just can't accept to spend $2.50 for a tiny macaron cookie so she challenged herself to bake them! ...and failed 12 times until she got it right (recipe here)
The very first batch the Queen made. Undermixed.
Next one that still cracked. No picture of cracked shells as the Queen is still in denial.
Tried using a silicon macaron mat but still failed.
With feet but cracked on top. Still tasty though.
The queen got it right this time but not all as some shells are still cracked/no feet.
The perfect batch after modifying the recipe!
Tested the same recipe for proof of concept and it raised beautifully in all Glory! Achievement.
