I regularly freeze my macarons and they defrost quite well, but I do remember freezing an apple cake once, and the apple made the cake go all mushy. Just wondering if there are enough other ingredients in the filling to stop that from happening.<br /><br />These look great and I'd love to try making some.Andrea Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961683744691350839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707403183271627344.post-29233630902776052472012-02-03T07:20:15.741-05:002012-02-03T07:20:15.741-05:00Hi Tina,

Found you by chance on Etsy (even though I wasn't shopping for macarons...) and weirdly enough I decided to click on your profile name, thinking "bolu" may link you to Southeast Asia. And it did! :) I grew up in Singapore myself and am now residing in Honolulu. Anyway, long message short, good for you with your goal of opening a macaron cafe! Your goodies look delicious, and I am intimidated by the recipe/instructions!

I'm sorry to hear that the macarons d...Hi Sam,<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that the macarons didn't turn out the way it should be. I've been using this recipe many times and it works fine. Except for 2 weeks ago when the macaron batter was fine but the macarons came out wrinkly from the oven. I wasn't sure what was wrong and tried it 3 more times with the same results. Until I ran out of egg whites (the egg whites that I aged for 3 days) so I had to buy a new carton and amazingly the macarons were fine. So my guess is the eggs because everything else I was doing exactly the same in terms of recipe and days of aging the eggs. I have no idea what happened but it was the same brand of eggs that I always use. Yes, it can get really frustrating when making this goodies.<br /><br />How many days do you age your eggs? I notice that the longer I age it (especially if I leave it out on the counter) it tends to get too watery. The egg white powder acts as a stabilizer for the meringue. The purpose of aging the egg white is to evaporate any excess water because too much water in it will break the protein bonds which in turn breaks the meringue. The egg white powder helps in making a drier meringue. Sometimes meringue is stiff and starts to get watery again. The salt that you sprinkle right before you whisk will help the meringue to stay as it is.<br /><br />I started off the recipe with 30g of sugar and it was a little too sweet for my taste so I reduced it by 5g each time while still experimenting. I find that anything less than 20g will cause problems with my meringue. If I could reduce it more I would, lol.<br /><br />When you say that the batter is very liquidy, do you mean after you mix it with the dry mix? Or the meringue is not stiff enough? If it gets too liquidy after you mix with almond flour+confectioners sugar, you probably over mix. Try to mix it for a shorter amount of time. If it is egg white that is not turning stiff, then try adding egg white powder. Keep me posted how this go.The Macaron Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05078519772235438542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707403183271627344.post-22797362716223485462011-12-06T22:42:03.158-05:002011-12-06T22:42:03.158-05:00Are you sure this was the correct batter?

I've made macarons befor eand the batter was just so drippy that i didn't even get a chance to hit the baking pan against my stove top so that the little peaks would go down, they were basically like liquid.<br /><br />My other question would be the 20g of granulated sugar. Isn't that too little because the egg whites don't stiffen as much?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707403183271627344.post-64587319407518895942011-12-05T18:12:32.228-05:002011-12-05T18:12:32.228-05:00Hi Barbara.
