Not perfect, but there they are. They didn’t turn out as dome-shaped as I would have liked for two reasons (that I can think of): the egg whites lost a lot of air when I folded in the dry ingredients and the macaron halves were too big. Regarding the first — I was so careful. Sooo careful. Gen-tle. But I’m pretty sure I could actually hear the air escaping. Not sure what to do about this except to beat the eggs even more and hope I don’t over do it. The second is easy enough to remedy.
The first tray went on the bottom rack, where I usually bake everything, and they wound up way too dry and crunchy. The second tray sat for much longer, so the little macarons formed a skin, and then I put them on the top tray. They’re actually quite nice, but not exactly right. Next time, they’ll be better. And there will be a next time.
