My new career in macaroon making suffered a minor setback today when the very first batch was a complete disaster! By this I mean a watery mixture that ran all over the tray and when cooked became large flat dusky pink circles stuck to the tray. Initally I did contemplate a Pierre Herme recipe but settled for Loraine Pascales easy baking one. Alas I only have scales that measure manually in 25g increments slightly inconvenient when you need 40g egg white. And the red food colouring initially became orange before it settled on a dusky sort of pink. Not happy rose pink as was pictured in my imaginings. Perfection needs perfecting!
