A couple of things I could recommend. This is the French method of making macarons. If you can’t get this to work,. I would try the Italian method using hot sugar syrup. They are still great, and can be more stable. Parchment paper is difficult to make it perfectly shaped for your pans. Sometimes this can cause macarons on the edge of the pan to be deformed. It’s also difficult to hold the parchment paper in place while banging the pan to get all of the air bubbles out. From the first batch, I have had nothing but perfect shells!!! instead of 10 out of 60 shells on a good batch, i’m now getting 55-60 perfect shells per batch .. (not 60 out of 60 because i may have gotten a little excited and tried to lift them too soon. As mentioned above, one of the key things to making the best macarons is having the right materials, and we aren’t just talking about the ingredients.Once you get your macarons piped, you’ll be happy to know that I encourage you to beat the daylights out of them. Hold the baking sheet a good foot or so above your table/floor/whatever flat, solid surface is nearby. Drop the pan (evenly) like Missy drops a beat. Repeat several times. Then do it once more. This ensures that all of the bubbles make their way out of the batter. If you don’t do this well, you will end up with hollow macarons.

I am also offering mini macaron templates, so you can pipe small shells. I personally love making mini macarons, they are fun to make, and also fun to eat. Read on below for our buyer’s guide and recommendations for the best silicone mats for macarons! The Secret To Making Great Macarons Don't compensate by oiling the mat either - that defeats the purpose of silicone - and that's criteria for failure. Hollow macs can be the result of a few things… over or under whipping the whites (just to stiff peaks). The next important thing is proper folding of the batter. Am I understanding correctly that you used a mixer for mixing the almond flour into the whites? If so, I would almost certainly point to that as your issue. You need to do this by hand. Not only will you be able to feel the proper technique, but you have to fold, which a mixer fails to do. Folding here is important for a couple reasons… it allows the ingredients to be gently mixed, while also allows for you to properly deflate the mixture juuuuust enough to get a perfect consistency. The folding is where 99% of macaron failures go wrong. It’s less and less about the ingredients being this or that way, and almost all about getting the perfect viscosity.Using proper folding technique (see blog post for an explanation of this), fold until you can ribbon an "8" that holds into the batter. This may take about 40-60 proper strokes, depending on your folding style. THIS is the most important step in proper macarons. Raised Circle Mat: First-time users with a piping bag can find it awkward at first and, although the mat provides extra confidence in piping out uniform rounds, you still need to practise piping out the rounds directly in the middle and just enough so that the batter doesn't go over the raised circles. Oven Safe Temperature: 480 degrees | Sizes Available: 11.5 x 8.5 inches (quarter sheet), 16.5 x 11.6 inches (half sheet)
