Recipe
Shell
^ I added about 1/2 tsp of almond extract.
Filling
Store bought cherry jam
How it turned out
The taste: 10/10! The presentation: 6/10. These were probably my roughest looking macaron shells, which is why I added the white chocolate decorations to try and cover up some of the bumpiness.
What I learned
Macronage technique is important. Macronage, the act of folding the dry ingredients into the meringue, is a finicky technique that I've been pretty lucky with so far. This time, however, I think I got a bit impatient and could have done another few folds to loosen the batter more. Because of this, the meringue was still pretty stiff when I piped it and didn't settle on itself. This resulted in bumpy shells.
