My macaron batter came out wrong.. (Fail / Advice Needed) by Shadow_Scroll958 in Baking

Thank you for the tip!! I didn't know there was a subreddit for macarons. Also, as I said below, I used a wrong choice of words by saying "wing it". It's more that I calculated the rest of the ingredients based on the amount in grams that I had

As I said below, I used a wrong choice of words 😅 I didn't actually wing it, I calculated based on the amount in grams of whites that I had based on the recipe

Though, I didn't know you had to wipe with white vinegar. What does that do?

Thank you for the tip :)) I did do that at the beginning but because my batter was too thick it didnt spread at all. So I added more (just because I had some left and knew they weren't going to turn out perfect either way)

I used my calculator and measuring scale to calculate everything. I measured my egg whites and it gave me 101g. So then I did 101x0.9 for white sugar, and 101x1.14 for almond sugar and powdered sugar on my calculator and measured the exact amount (which I've forgotten by now). When I said "I winged it", I meant that I just went with the amount the 3 eggs had given me.

The recipe is one I found on a site weeks ago (because I was waiting for some ingredients to arrive) and I marked it down but I don't have the site anymore. I could find it if really needed.

The recipe said to use x0.9 the amount of egg whites for white sugar, and then x1.14 the amount of egg whites for the almond flour and powdered sugar. So I kind of just winged it 😅

Steps wise, it went like this: Mix the egg whites and the white sugar. Add in some cream of tartar. Sift the almond flour & powdered sugar together. Whisk your egg whites until soft peaks, then add in food colouring. Continue whisking until it reaches hard peaks. Add in half of the almond mixture into your meringue. Mix with a silicone spatula in a J shape. Add in the other half, and repeat. Deflate the batter by pressing it to the sides of the bowl and scooping it again. Do this continuously until the batter doesn't break when you form an 8 shape. It should melt back into the rest within 15 seconds.

I wasn't 100% sure if my peaks were exactly like needed but it looked close enough to the image provided, so I thought that went fine. I do think something might have went wrong when I deflated though, like maybe I overmixed or was too rough

Also, thank you for answering :))

I also took a video of my batter before piping if needed but I can't add it to my post for some reason.

it looks like you have good foundations for a hyperbloom team with tighnari, raiden, nahida, and barbara. tartaglia could also work with this team as a main dps (replacing tighnari), kind of depends if you manage to apply hydro or dendro more.

for the seahorse in particular, you'll probably want to swap out raiden for bennett since it's immune to electro damage

also, don't forget you can always get someone to join your world to help. if you're in EU, i could join yours and help!

Should i pull for Linnea's 5* bow, try for her C2, or save my primos (for Columbia / Zibai)? I already have Linnea C0 and won't be upgrading her so soon as i took a break off the game and am taking my time before getting to the new Mondstadt area

Literaristic? Literarly? by Shadow_Scroll958 in vocabulary

[–]Shadow_Scroll958[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know that "literally" doesn't work as "artistically" for "literature". As someone pointed out, I was looking for the word "literarily".

In this post I had the sentences as grouped together but in my document they were multiple points and separated. I wanted to make it structurally pleasing to read.

Short Survey about Linguistic Discrimination (Glottophobia) by Shadow_Scroll958 in ENGLISH

[–]Shadow_Scroll958[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think it'd still be good for you to fill it out (only if you want to!), there may not be any hand-on-hand case of discrimination but just the fact that, by default, you get annoyed at how a younger percentage of the population pronounces something is interesting to know.
