If your macaron are hard I guess the only reason is over baked if all the ingredients are followed as it is from the recipe that you had. As for my macaron even if I leave it in fridge for 3 – 4 days they are still nice and soft and the top is still crunch when bite.<br><br>From what I know, if the top shell is wrinkle or tear it might due to the air bubbles traps in the batter when pipped so you had to actually bang it on the counter top a few times as to make sure you had remove those air pocket. Cos sometime I do have this problem on a few of the macarons. <br><br>One main important question, before you bake your macaron did u actually touch the surface of the shell is it <b>FULLY DRY</b> when touch. If it’s still sticky then u won’t have a fine round and the batter will tends to spread and flatten.

May I ask you a couple of questions, if you don't mind??<br><br>1- does you use equal parts of almond meal and icing sugar??<br><br>2- are you still using the non-italian meringue method? <br><br>3. is there anyway of reducing the sweetness without losing the quality?<br><br>4. do you still add icing sugar to buttercream?<br><br>Thank you so much, and much regards from the beautiful Sydney harbour<br>MaggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12190196.post-21405093932803362302007-11-02T06:15:00.000+08:002007-11-02T06:15:00.000+08:00Hi Maggie,Thanks for dropping by and all your kind...Hi Maggie,<br><br>Thanks for dropping by and all your kind comments :) Em… I can said macaron is actually a very tricky goodies to be bake. And every single ingredients do have a possibility of causing it to be a failure.(I meant for my experience on making it)<br><br>A1. Em.. from the recipe that I had I don’t use equal amount of almond and icing sugar.<br><br>A2. Yup….. I don’t used Itialian Meringue method.<br><br>A3. I had tried to reduce to sugar content in the recipes but then it will actually affect the end products as in feetless or crack.(from my recipe)<br><br>A4. Nope.. I don’t add icing sugar to buttercream.<br><br>Hope these information is of some help to you.
