macarons, take deux!

try two was a success! my meringue was a little bit thicker, my patience was a little bit, well, present? does that count?

i started out with just plain vanilla, i want to master the technique and then move on to fancy flavors and colors and fillings. these will be filled with caramel. right now, the un-paired cookies are waiting for their mates in a tin on my kitchen counter. hopefully no sneaky fingers have made their way into the tin yet...

the beautiful, puffy, glistening meringue:


almond flour mixed with egg whites:


cookies piped out into perfect circles, resting and drying before baking:


the little guys, beautifully baked and brown and cooling:


caramel filling bubbling on the stove:
