I think that was resulted from the manggo bits in my macarons shells that still had moisture in it. The moisture evaporates and creates the air pocket. I've learned also that slightly different proportions in many recipes doesn't really a big matter. First thing that matters is the macaronage (it counts the most) knowing when to stop folding the batter. Second, the heat in the oven and how it circulates (in other words, how we know our oven). I know you would never give up knowing that you've tried so many times.., so master those two things and perfect macarons is yours!

I've had pretty much the same experience with macarons....pages and pages of reading on the internet, trying different recipes (which were all the same ingredients in slightly varying proportions), different temperatures and baking time, 2 failed attempts (one set didnt come off the parchment paper, another coloured in the oven before they were baked) and a 3rd semi-decent attempt (they looked perfect with the feet etc from outside but were too hollow inside) and the 4th attempt was good and I was so excited.....unfortunately the 5th set didnt turn out as perfect though I have no idea what I did different from the 4th :(snehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077025107575029942noreply@blogger.com
