The lemon curd made in the previous post was for one of the macaroons my sister and I made last weekend. We were each responsible for different batches, the lemon curd was for my sisters lemon and lime macaroons (which she will hopefully post about on her blog), I however made the raspberry macaroons. We used a recipe and instructions from My Tartelette.
All in all the macaroons went fairly well, even though I stuffed up the chocolate ones, the didn't seem to be "wet" enough and grew MASSIVE. The other two batches turned out perfect though, they even grew nicely sized feet. It seems like the key to feet may in fact be the resting between piping and baking (which is what they are doing in the first picture!)
The second picture shows the macaroons on one of my Royal Tuscan plates. I'm an avid china collection and recently found a number of lovely Royal Tuscan hand painted trios on Ebay. I previously stuck to buying a lot of Royal Doulton and Royal Albert but have expanded my collection recently after finding other really beautiful options from a number of companies.
