I am a HUGE macaron fan!! I look for them everywhere (I even had a pic on my iphone for a while of the colorful macrons in the display case at Paillard in Quebec City.
Thank you for making these little guys look so easy to make! I pulled a recipe last fall from an food editorial from a San Francisco based paper and attempted to make them at home. The article made it sound like if I could conquer this I was a real pastry chef! Of course they didn't quite turn out right with that kind of pressure!
One little tip: try the pre-made ones sold at Trader Joe's Stores (under $5 and frozen) for a pre-taste if you live in a community that doesn't sell them anywhere.
Looking forward to making these from KAF!! Thank you for highlighting a great treat!!
