Daring Bakers Fail.

The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.


So. This month was macarons. I've never had macarons. I've only seen pictures. I understood that it was difficult, etc.

I apparently didn't realise how difficult.

I had no idea what exactly I was supposed to have with my meringue. When I made it, my meringue was very runny. And I barely folded it. I tried it a second time, and the meringue was still not really stiff. But it was still runny. Both times I got cookies that looked like the milanos from July. So I give up.

I can't make macarons.
