I was wondering - there is another technique for making Macarons that doesn't involve working with hot syrup. Have you tried that technique? If so, might you also consider discussing what may be a slightly easier alternative here? Erik, we might get around to alternate techniques in the months to come. Unfortunately, we're usually short on time/personnel, long on projects! I'll definitely mention it to Sue and Andrea in the test kitchen, who developed this particular recipe. Perhaps they can try the non-boiling-syrup method and I can append the results onto the end of this blog. Thanks for the suggestion - PJH Hooray for the test bakers! They whipped up a non-syrup recipe yesterday: Simple Macarons. Thanks for the suggestion, Erik - PJH
