Roasted Black Sesame Macarons

my second try

and it’s still not successful.

i dunno what’s wrong anymore. haha. (:

but i will give it another shot another time!

my shells just not rise like they should!

oh wells. hehe

if u got tips on this please feel free to let me know!

cause I really wanna get it right. hehe

got this recipe from a blog i regularly read (:

Muffins are Ugly Cupcakes

how cute is the name of the blog? hehe

so before trying it for the second time

i read around to see if people could help me not fail. haha

so I microwaved my egg whites for 10sec in a medium heat microwave to get all the water out.

I also toasted the almond meal and the grounded black sesame in the oven at 140 C° for 10mins (:

besides that.

i followed Felicia all the way.

(Thanks for the recipe btw!)

Recipe :

1 cup confectioners? sugar

3/4 cup ground almonds

1/4 cup finely ground black sesame

6 tablespoons egg whites (I just used 3 egg whites)

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar

i processed the icing sugar to make sure there were no lumps.

then I added the toasted almond meal and black sesame and processed it as well.

I whipped the egg whites and slowly adding the sugar

until you get soft peaks.

Add the dry ingredients to the egg whites and start folding.

I put my dry ingredients half at a time. Makes things easier.

mine seems too thick now (the first attempt. it was too thin haha)

i should have a flow-like-magma consistency.

Pipe the macaron batter onto baking paper.

Top off with some sesame seeds to make it prettier

Bake at 320F (160C) for 12 mins.

and let it cool (:

cause it was a fail attempt

i didn’t make any buttercream to sandwich it with.

I will hold that till I get the perfect shells. hehe

help anyone?
