Hello Gemma! Exactly one year ago today, Valentine's Day of 2019, I was told by a bakery worker that French Macarons are EXTREMELY difficult to make and I would probably not be able to make them at home. Well guess what? I'm now making them at home. It took me 3 or 4 tries to get them perfect, but I'm now making them myself, at home! I'm a pretty experienced baker and I'm also self taught. I've been baking since I was 7 years old. I'm now 67 years old, so I've been baking for 60 years! How on earth did I get to be this old??? Anyway, I really enjoyed this video and I'm a new subscriber as of Today! You're never too old to learn something new.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for sharing, Mary Ellen. I agree, we are never too old to learn something new.

[@ADayInLisasLife3947]

Mary Ellen, I was a counselor with female juvenile delinquents for many years, and I would tell them to learn something new every day. I said, "The day you stop learning is the day you might as well curl up and start to die." Congratulations on learning how to make the macarons. I have wanted to as soon as I saw Beth from "Entertaining With Beth" make them, but fatigue keeps me from doing so many things I would enjoy. Maybe I will try these soon, they seem to move along fairly quickly.

[@sewcrazybaker]

@@ADayInLisasLife3947 they are not Macaroons. They are Macarons. HUGE difference! I'm thinking it's your phone's auto correct. Yes, do try making them. And KEEP trying because they are tricky!

[@ADayInLisasLife3947]

@@sewcrazybaker, yes, Mary Ellen, I had it spelled correctly when I typed it. I didn't notice it changed. I do know the difference, because I like macaroons, too.

Sift dry ingredients.. almond flour, powdered sugar. Whip room temperature egg whites. Add little sugar in stages. Beat until stiff peaks are formed. Add food colouring. Sieve the dry ingredients again and gently fold it into the egg whites mix. Pour the mix into a piping bag. Line a baking tray with parchment paper (use double baking trays). Pipe the mix into circles onto the parchment paper. Bang the trays on the counter top to release air pockets. Set aside for 30-60 mins to let the shells get nice and dry. Once the top is dry, pop into oven 300 degrees F or 150 degrees celcius for roughly 15-20 mins.
