Those look amazing! I'm definitely going try to do some peach ones with a peach filling in it! Great to meet you this weekend!

Nick: you are not folding the meringue enough so there is still a little too much air in it to bond appropriately with the almonds and powdered sugar mix. It creates too big of an air pocket in between the base and the cap.

Hey! I came across your blog as I googled about my macaron problems! :(

Yours seem perfect! the problem that I have is that my macarons seem to be hollow. Do you think you know what the problem is?

Hollow as in, the shells crack as they are touched. Other than that, they look great, with their feet and smooth shell. Just the hollow problem. Help someone?! :(

which food processor do you use to grind nuts? mine does not seem to grind nuts very fine no matter how long i run it for (i'm sure it's a design flaw).

Camilla: I use either or depending on what I have on hand. If you use 110gr ground versus 110gr slivered the difference in volume is so little that it should not affect the outcome much. Sounds more like your batter could use a bit more folding to get to a proper flow.

2009-09-16T12:21:56.822-04:00

Sorry if this is a stupid Q but but when the recipe says "110 gr almonds" is it whole almonds or almond meal? My batter is really thick, almost like brownie batter so I'm thinking I'm using too much of something.
Also thank you for all the great recipes, you are such an inspiration!

O more gorgeous macarons! I think it is time I tried another batch of macarons..:) This might just be the right recipe to give it a go.

2009-09-09T13:59:34.305-04:00

Pastrychefgrl: by hollow, do you mean some spave between the bottom and the top of the shell? That's quite normal actually and comes from the air in the meringue. They should not be dense like a regular cookie. If you want to send me pics, I'll be able to help you better once I get a visual (if you have any).

I have a question maybe you or someone else can answer. I have been trying for a year to make macarons with somewhat succesful attempts. But my macarons always seem somewhat hollow what could I be doing wrong that would make them turn out this way? I am determined to get these down so any tips you can give me what be great!! Thanks so much and btw these look amazing!! ;o)

i absolutely looove all of your macaroons recipes. i'm so in awe at how beautiful they come out!!! i wish I could eat every single one you make! i tried making pistachio macaroons for the first time primarily based off your recipe!. a little flatter than i would have liked, but more successful than i imagined it would turn out based on all the bad stories i hear about making macaroons. thanks for your blog! :)

2009-09-08T11:51:24.966-04:00

Beautiful post (as always!) I love the flavor combinations & the colors: green, orange, and white. Like tiny versions of the Irish flag :) (I guess living in Dublin, my eye has been trained to recognize that color combination - haha!) So very beautiful, and I love the idea of pate de fruit in a macaron. Lovely!

2009-09-08T03:20:36.379-04:00

I've tried once, but my oven is very old and doesn't act well while baking, so I don't know if it was from the powdered egg whites or it was just my oven, but the result was disastrous. Next week I'm waiting my brand new oven, so I'll keep trying and if it comes something good I'll spread the word :)

for the pate de fruit - you say"I use one with medium holes" . to what are you referring? I am all set to make these, as I made the rhubarb/strawberry ones and was delighted with them.

Helen, have you ever tried to make macarons with powder egg whites? If so what was the result?
