Macaroons ...

If you have tried baking one ...you should know the pain and skills to achieve ... some said age the eggs ...some said use instantly ...some said eggs to be soft and glossy ...etc

Berry say ...Temperature... it all depends on your oven ...Berry used 160 color turns brown and uncook ...Berry has to lower the temperature and let the cooking time drags to ensure the right heat to puff the shells..so call "THE FEET"

out of 6 trays 10 pairs were found perfect ...1st trail ... need to work more practice to achieve 100% perfection ...then again that remind us the beauty of french culture ...

the given guide was 160 degrees 20 mins - to Berry ...that really depends ...for a small oven toaster .. Berry used 130 and 35mins ...Berry suggested you know your oven better ...so work on one pipe as sample and see if the given guide helps ...
