Okay, so... I made a new batch using a different recipe. Feet formed beautifully, but the tops were warped! I've never had this happen to me before! I saw pictures of warped macarons (wavy tops) before, and I thought, "Nah, that's never happened in any of my batches, so it'll never happen" .. it happened. I looked into it, and after reading several blogs, I realized I more than likely overmixed. I thought maybe it was because I was using too low of a temperature (understandably due to previous cracked macarons).. but I increased the temperature of the oven for the second baking sheet, yet they were still warped. Nope, wasn't the heat.. Definitely overmixed. Ugh. Back to the drawing board!
I've come to the conclusion that I'm really going to have to look into the ratio of the ingredients. I've obtained a few from several sources. Once I use them, I'll let you guys know! I feel like I'm getting closer though :) I really don't remember struggling this much when I made them before. I'm taking this way too seriously than I did before I guess, haha.
Until next time!
xoxo
