I recently became absolutely enamored with macarons after having some at a cafe, and I’ve been trying to make my own macarons. I’ve tried Sally Baking Addiction’s French macaron recipe and Preppy Kitchen’s macaron recipe, and both have turned out to be utter failures.
I really struggle with the meringue part, because I only have a hand mixer and my meringue never seems to whip up right, so I’m wondering if there’s a different recipe that would make the meringue easier to make? I also read somewhere that my brand of almond flower (Bob’s Red Mill) might be too oily, but since Sally’s Baking Addiction recommended that brand to me specifically, I’m not sure if that’s the case? (But if anyone has any input on this, I’d LOVE to hear it)
Regardless, I’m hoping this subreddit will be able to recommend me recipe that maybe will go a bit better than my previous attempts.
