Notes
- Measure ingredients with a scale in grams (rather than converting to cups).
- Make sure your bowl and mixers are very clean and free from grease.
- Use an oven thermometer for accuracy. A small change in temperature can cause the macarons to fail.
- Bake them on dark, non-stick, flat cookie sheets without rims such as this one from Dunelm. Do not use baking or wax paper or a silicone mat/tray. Results will vary greatly if you use a different type of tray.
