Even though the ingredients to make Macarons are just 4, but as the saying about macaron that i found online; "If it ain't fussy, it ain't Macaron".
But for sure, it's my fault as well...
First, i don't have the 'icing' tip, second i'm short of 10g Almond grounds ( i don't know if this really make differences), third i'm using gel type food colour which made the meringue very heavy and wet even though i hardly put any - just a small dot from the fork. And the most failed fault was...i forgot to put powdered sugar into the meringue + almonds + Aqua colour!
GAHHHH!!! x___x
However, i just baked it according to Tartelette's tutorial here...
But i'm not sure whether the oven i'm using is convection or regular ones...and instead of Fahrenheit, i'm converting it to Celsius using this site.
1st attempt - 130°C, 18mins. using 'api bawah' first , then change to 'api atas'. The result, bau yg sedap (lol), it breaks easily, a bit orangey colour on top (almost hangus), the inside is very soft. The taste is chewy, super sweet and 'nuts-ish'. i never tried macarons before, so no idea about that.
2nd attempt - 140°C, 20 mins. Using api atas & bawah. The result...hangus/burnt...Hahahaha!!
3rd attempt - 130°C, 20 mins. Using api bawah first for a while, change to api atas, then change to api bawah again. Can see the 'feet'!! XDDD However, after 15 mins or so, can see the below hangus. Then i have to stop it before everything hangus. Taste wise, better than the first! Crunchy, but hangus taste abit...and the colour is orangey and not Blue anymore. ;_;
4th attempt - 100°C, 17 mins, Using api bawah for first 10 mins, change to 70°C then change to api atas for next 7 mins. Again, almost hangus, but better than the 3rd attempt.
My question now...should macaron shells tastes soft or crunchy?
Sigh...i really dunno how. :/
Maybe will try again next time.
p/s: Oh no! i think i'm allergic to nuts! D:
