Macaroons by Donna Hay

When I made macaroons for the first time, I didn't pass so I made them for the second time on the 26th of March. This time to make macaroons, I used Donna Hay's making macaroons box which contains all the ingredients in it and the instructions.


A macaroon is basically a sweet meringue based confectionery made with eggs, icing sugar, granulated sugar and ground almonds. It is commonly filled with Ganache, buttercream or a jam filling. It can be found in a wide variety of flavours. I filled my macaroons with a chocolate ganache which required chocolate and cream. 


From my experience of making macaroons, I think that they have a very easy recipe but they are very hard to get right. The temperature, the consistency, it all matters a lot. But even though I passed and my 10 dishes are over, I will make macaroons again until I get it perfect.
