The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.
Macarons are the holy grail of baking, batch after batch is attempted often ending in epic fails. I was terrified of this challenge but they turned out better than I thought they would. The first batch I believe I over beat and the second batch was under beaten. I think if I try these again I will whip the egg whites to a stiffer peak which will hopefully result in nice shiny tops.
