Trial #3


Recipe(s) used:
     Macaron: Rosanna Pansino
     Filling: Regular Buttercream
     Would I use it again?: Yes
What I changed: Kept oven temperature at 300℉, after researching that higher temperatures will help prevent hollow cookies rather than lower. I also use parchment paper instead of silicon mats to help distribute heat more evenly.
Successes: Macarons looked more like they were supposed to. The rise was normal.
     Why: I did more research on hollow macarons. I think the broader my knowledge of the technique the more I will know what to fix.
Fails: Macarons were slightly overcooked. Also, some were slightly  hollow but not extremely.
     Why: I wasn't watching each batch close enough. I still have no idea why some were hollow, but I think it may have to do with the macoranage. (Folding of meringue and dry ingredients.)
What I would change: Do more research on macoranage to see if that is the cause of the problem.

Some macarons were more hollow than others.
