New Obsession

Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for and we hope you did too!

During our little holiday we had some time to experiment with making the fabled and hard to make...

MACARONS!!!!

Turns out it isn't as hard as it was made out to be! You definitely have to pay attention during the process and do things just as it says in the directions but there was nothing hard about it (especially when you let the stand mixer do the physical labor!). We followed Epicurean Mom's blog post which can be found here.

Starting Ingredients

First Sift

Second Sift

Mixing It Up

One thing we did find when using the stand mixer was that the egg whites don't have to go for the full 8 minutes, an average of about 3 minutes will do.

                                             

Adding the Next Steps

All Done!

So Good!

Our first batch was not perfect texture wise but we did get the feet we were supposed to and they tasted AMAZING! We have successfully began our obsession with these delicious little treats!

Wishing you big waves and an artful day!
