[@Anne-wo1jl]

Thank you so much! I tried your recipe and my macarons came out lovely. They did however become overly chewy and a bit uneven on the top. Any obvious reason that you know of for those? But we did not mind them. They were absolutely delicious!

[@angelagalati9519]

Wow they look great thanks for sharing I will definitely try these...!! I’ve tried a few in the past mostly hollow though but since viewed a few hundred utube channels...trying to understand the trick,which is basically what you’ve said ,it’s in the measurement of ingredients ,the mixing of the meringue and the macronage stage ,then of course the drying and baking too ..lol my use to burn I realised my oven t7ns at 10 degrees higher so I bought an oven thermometer 😊

[@butterlicioussgbyjesslynte2460]

thanks for watching.. if you are not looking for a reduced sugar recipe, u may wat to tray to use 52g almond , 44g icing, 35g castor 40egg white. these will be easier to work with.

[@nuhaa5888]

Hi!! I really want to try making macarons but I’m not sure what temperature I should use for my oven. I have a conventional oven, and I read online that you can bake the macarons at 350° F for 10 mins when using a conventional oven. What would you suggest? Thx 😊

[@vinthalia7803]

it’s really satisfying to see ur shell because it looks so smooth 🥰 i want to try making it! does corn flour and starch the same ? do i really need cream of tartar?? 😭 i can’t found it

Usually at baking shops there is cream of tartar, you can ask the assistance from the shop worker

Gorgeous Amazing perfect shells and macaron defintly 😍 my main problem with macarons is hollow shells . Every time I've got a perfect shape but hollow macaron .. I bought a new convection oven and I don't know the proper position for wire rack and the temperature .. will you give a suggestion. 🥰

[@wangnagene]

Hi, I think that logically if the middle is empty, there's too much air. So you could try to mix the batter a little bit more in order to have less air on the shell. The batter should be quite runnny.

[@agnstilegalimm4evr]

I'm really watching my sugar but I didn't see where yours had reduced sugar in them. Is the recipe lower sugar than other or? Anyway they came out great!

[@ufaalvaro]

Please compare by yourself. So many recipe out there. Especially using italian methode.. Always use way more sugar

[@lubnabhatt6562]

Recipe seems good. But Cornflour is mentioned twice once 1/2 tsp and later 1/4 tsp. Also do we need to use both cream of tartar and salt to stabilize the meringue?

[@dumpsterfire5818]

just use salt

[@nt2girls]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have been searching for a reduced sugar macaron recipe. If I double your recipe do I double the cream of tarter, salt and cornstarch quantities too?

[@jesslyntey9298]

Yes, if you double the recipe, u have to double cream of tartar cornstarch. No so much for salt, as for the salt is basically just to balance the sweetness.

[@ekuvri768]

[@adrienneberelowitz6342]

Hi, thanks for sharing.💐 What is the reason you use half castor sugar and half icing sugar as apposed to just 30g of castor sugar in your meringue? Thanks.

[@butterlicioussgbyjesslynte2460]

you can use 30g of castor sugar instead. I read somewhere by Angela Nilsen, she use half-half castor and icing sugar for her meringue, and it had finer texture for the meringue. I tested using all icing for the meringue, but I dun really like the texture of the macaron.

[@marthasilva123]

Hi why the corn flour?

[@butterlicioussgbyjesslynte2460]

cornstarch helps in shorter the resting time.. and for thickening. Macaron with cornstarch added will be slightly more chewy.. but once the shells is mature with filling it will be fine. 😊

[@Anne-wo1jl]

@@butterlicioussgbyjesslynte2460hello, can I reduce the corn flour or remove it from recipe if I want less chewiness? Thank you

[@nishahathiwala1597]

I make veg macarons! So is cornstarch an alternative to reduce sugar?? Will this work for italian macarons?

[@butterlicioussgbyjesslynte2460]

Nope the cornflour is not an alternative to reduce sugar. But cornflour helps to thicken the meringue and shorter the resting time. Many people also asked me what do I mean by reduced sugar. So I had work out per 1gram egg white ratio is 1.45g almond flour , 1.1g icing sugar and 0.75g castor sugar. Meaning for every 1 gram if egg with I need those a mount if other ingredients. So if u would to use 50gram of egg white in this recipe. That would be Egg white 50g Almond 1.45×50 = 72.5g Icing 1.1× 50 = 55g Castor 0.75×50 = 38 Egg white 50g Almond 72.5g Icing 55g Castor 38g You can use this method to compare to the recipe u are using or those you could find online. base on the same amount of egg white in both recipe. And of course why I said reduce sugar recipe is base on my recipe I used previously. 🥰😝 .
