Nothing says Autumn more than making everything edible pumpkin flavoured. So, naturally, my next stab at french macarons was pumpkin spice. When I made these the other day, I was hoping to put up a recipe to share with you guys. Unfortunately, my experiment didn't exactly worked the way I hoped. These were delicious, don't get me wrong - you just need to be pretty careful with what you add to the shell batter. I added spices to it and it made the shells very fragile, and took over an hour to dry before they would even get the tiniest feed. I also couldn't quite get a grasp on this pumpkin buttercream. I just wanted to share how my practicing was coming along, and how even though I've been doing good, a little bit of a difference can potentially wreck your whole batch. See my other attempts here and here.
These macarons did work for me and were tasty, but, never the less, I do plan on tweaking the recipe and posting a much better version in the near future. Stay tuned.

These look delicious! I've thought about trying my hand at making macarons before, but it always seemed pretty difficult to me. I have a hard enough time following even the simplest recipes so I know I'd find some way to screw these up. haha. Good job, though! :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, just try not to think of it too much and it comes to you naturally. There are certain things you need to take into consideration, but from a little practice, I've found that most of the things said about making macarons are myths. Practice makes perfect.
