Or just with muffins or a swiss meringue buttercream (sounds fancy, but it is actually easy because you *know* when you have reached the good point just by rubbing the egg white-sugar mix between your fingers and feeling that there are no more sugar grains, it's nice and smooth. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fXvnWTcx7k" rel="nofollow">Like in this video.</a> (For some reason videos give me confidence, because you actually see how things are done)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-73477415348769516632013-06-11T08:24:41.557+02:002013-06-11T08:24:41.557+02:00You're welcome :) I will try Linda's recip...You're welcome :) I will try Linda's recipe next time, though I think I have to lower the temperature of my oven.

And very science-like, even, in their presentation. :) I'm sure that if I ever decided to make macarons, I would look up this post.<br /><br />It's just that I am terrified of baking in general, even more simple things. :) I think I'd have to start with something small and easy before I could work up the courage to even experiment with something like this!

Luego, si quieres intentar la técnica del merengue italiano, si se necesita un termómetro de azúcar, pero para la técnica francesa que en cierta forma es más fácil no es necesario. <br />Inténtalo cuando puedas, de todas formas saben ricos :) Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-39786098783501367592013-06-09T10:58:11.196+02:002013-06-09T10:58:11.196+02:00Dank je wel :) Je moet proberen en proberen!Dank je wel :) Je moet proberen en proberen!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-76357458176465430702013-06-09T10:57:04.470+02:002013-06-09T10:57:04.470+02:00Let me know how yours turn out... they are still k...Let me know how yours turn out... they are still kind of mysterious in ways, no matter how careful about the technique and the details I am... I always get some cracked macarons, but not all. And some really look perfect. I am thinking my oven was too warm, I am going to try at lower temperature and bake a bit longer, slower. <br />They are all delicious anyhow, so that's good.

La segunda, se quebraron algunos, y la tercera (que lo intenté con merengue francés) también se rompieron unos cuantos(fotografié los más bonitos). Creo que mi horno calienta demasiado, por lo que he leído, ya que si se les forma el "pie" y están bien de textura y forma... a la próxima bajaré la temperatura y hornearé más lentamente, a ver si es eso. Lo bueno es que saben deliciosos igual.

Essentially you need a hand mixer to be able to whip up a stiff meringue, and a scale to weigh the ingredients. The rest is just a matter of trying, experimenting and doing certain things systematically. (If you want to try the Italian meringue technique, then you also need a sugar thermometer)<br /><br />One of the articles that made me lose my fear said something like, it's a cookie, not rocket science :) <br /><br />(And thanks, I just really really like to play around, and ever since I got a scale and a thermometer in December it really feels like I'm at the lab a bit).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368283990536887320.post-60314158283824740912013-06-09T10:46:00.313+02:002013-06-09T10:46:00.313+02:00You did not like them?
