i don't think this will take five minutes.... :S

[FoodNouveau]

@PuppySweets9 The video is meant to be a "In a nutshell" visual introduction to making macarons. Of course the whole process takes much longer, but the video features the key steps that get you to the end result.

our local supermarket doesn't have almond meal, can we use flour or anything else instead?

[FoodNouveau]

@TheVivianwan1026 No you can't use flour, almond meal is mandatory. If you can't find it, buy blanched, skinned almonds, and pulse them in a food processor until they are finely ground.

@onebaka You can for sure beat egg whites by hand, using a whisk, but be advised that it's a good workout :)

@pinkmochix3 She pre-measured them pouring them straight out of a bag??

[hahaproductions14]

What size of macaron templates do you use in the video?

[pinkmochix3]

@gma904 She clearly pre-measured them......

[gma904]

I want to make these if I can only find almond meal. What in the world can I use for filling, though? (Besides,of course, chocolate.) Love the music, by the way. It puts me in the mood for cooking. ^^

[gma904]

This looks fun!

[gma904]

I like how it says to measure all your ingredients "very precisely" while she's dumping unmeasured ingredients in the bowl. lol

@kaylashalaylaaaaa also i tried overcooking them, i read this can be a way to combat hollow shells and it doesn't affect the final product because after maturation the macaron will have its moisture restored but it didn't work, they just became hollow and crunchy after 2 days

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

i keep making beautiful, delicious, footed macarons... with hollow shells :( i'm already cooking at a temperature of 270-280F in an electric oven, how much lower can i go!

can anyone advise me? tips?
