Foolproof Macaron Recipe
Bake your Macarons in a preheated oven – 300F (150C).
Your egg whites should be room temperature and it’s a good idea to give them an egg freshness test prior to using them.
The trick to making your eggs room temperature is to submerge them in warm water for about 5 minutes.
Apparently, according to Beth, as your Macarons bake, the color tends to fade. She says to make them a few shades darker.
Getting your consistency right is vital when it comes to ensuring a perfect result. If you under-mix your ingredients, you could end up with lumpy and cracked macarons.
It’s equally important that you don’t over mix your ingredients either.
