    Hi lilian,

    gosh...I must learn something from you..does fresh or aged egg white matters? Please let me know. I used fresh egg white..mmm..now I'm putting on my thinking cap. I wonder if I use aged egg white will give me a better result.

    Hi Aunt Yochana,
    Apparently some pple in egullet debated that it's critical to used aged egg whites (some even up to 3-4 days)to remove the moisture in the whites..

    Was wondering if we can omit the step instead due to the humid weather in SG.

    Am so excited and anticipating my macaron baking attempt this wkend..hehe gonna try Matcha Macarons with Chocolate Ganache ..a tad ambitious hor for a 1st time :p *cross fingers*

    my,

    o.k. let me describe...first bite into a macaroon, it's a sweet sticky chewy feeling n as you chew it taste more and more lovely cos it mingles with the filling and after a meal, this is absolutely wonderful. I like the black sesame seeds flavour.

    Hi auntie Lucy,

    The macaroons are so pretty! I would like to try it soon. And I'm always inspired by your bakes. You really should consider opening a shop!

    I saw your recipe in IK, and someone was asking at what step should the ground almonds and icing sugar mixture be added to the liquid mixture. I'm also curious since your steps did not mention..

    Hi Trif,

    I have another one in my blog under cookies: Raspberry Chocolate French Macaroons.

    Mix the icing sugar and ground almond together then fold into the whisked egg white till well combined. It should be flowing like a magma but please remember to rest for at least 30 mins before baking.

    Hi auntie Lucy,

    Thanks for replying! I'm going to try with nutella, but can you also teach me how to make the pink cream you put inside this one on your blog?

    Hi Auntie Lucy,

    I tried making your macaroons according to your recipe. But some problems cropped up and hope you can enlighten me:

    1. Surface of macaroon is not smooth like your photo, mine looks like surface of the moon! Why is that so?

    2. Ground almonds- are they the shelled or unshelled ones?

    3. My macaroons turned out brown instead of pink even though I put pink colouring.

    Hi Auntie Lucy,

    I bought this month's Food & Travel magazine and 1 of the recipe in there is macarons. It calls for dried egg white. Does your recipe also require dried egg white? Is there any alternative to using it?
