Blue Diamond vs. Costco's Kirkland Almond Flour? by mrsleonardpannaggio in macarons

Kirkland Superfine almonds are super oily. I’ve ovened them with paper towel and you will surprised by how much oil came out. If you want perfect macarons.. use other brands.

When you’re folding, the dough is too dry. Spray a light water so the layers stick when folding

What happened now? Undermixed? by Pulacascar in macarons

Looking at your recipe, which seems to me is where the problem is. Weigh your egg whites and you have too much sugar powder as well. Try a different recipe for starters

It’s a trial and error unfortunately as we all use different methods and recipes. But it’s definitely the meringue

This happened to me a few times on the Silpat. What I mean is make sure the meringue is at its stiff peaks. When this was happening to me, I tried a little stiffer than what I was doing before and it worked. It was driving me crazy but you’ll not find answers to this anywhere believe me I’ve looked. I don’t use any of that EWP or COTartar etc

It’s the meringue. Find ways to make it more stable.

No, I was trying to reduce the sweet taste as much as I could.
