I've always liked it, but never really had the time to try the things I really wanted to try.
Recently graduating college..my free time opened up tremendously.
French Macaroons have always been one of my favorite treats. They were takeaways at my college portfolio show and they were a huge hit. I had to buy them of course, because at that time they totally intimated me. It was an expensive takeaway, but that's in the past now.
Yesterday after work, I randomly thought trying to make them would be a good idea. It was. I only know that now though.
The main reason I never tried making these sooner was everyone else that has ever tried to make them. That, and there are hundreds of different ways. All of them are very similar, yet certain aspects of the process are varied. That makes one little cookie pretty intimidating. I found this one recipe for this fairly simple vanilla macaroon and I thought I'd give it a try. I'm not a huge Lemon curd fan though, so for my filling I just decided to try a simple vanilla buttercream fill. It was surprisingly very easy and they turned out deliciously. I'm not a baking pro, hell, I've never even used a piping bag until last night, and I made these correctly. If I can, anyone can.
Seeing that it was almost midnight when I finished, the picture effort was lax.
I'm excited to try more complicated flavor recipes for these guys sometime soon!
