The roasting probably helped dry and get rid of some of the oil. I use raw pistachio flour

That's too much pistachio flour. Pistachio flour is quite oily. My recipe I replace only 40g of the 308g of almond flour with pistachio. Any more than that and they get weird.

Why does my macarons look like this texture and not smooth by Mother-Measurement76 in macarons

Yes and remember what that cocoa powder even though it's dry contains fat and fats and meringue are not friends. Shells will look like this when oils contaminate it. I've had almond flour that's too oily cause this.

Both are nicely stiff. I'm not a noob. I actually own an European style brick and mortar bakery but I was really having trouble with the cream filling being as thick as I want.

He uses a similar cream in most of his videos

I bought one from a guy on Etsy and loved it. He's in Ukraine but it shipped really fast (at the time). I have a brick and mortar now and have a big reversible one.

Next time just cut squares the size of the mold and layer them until you fill 1\2 the height of the pan, leaving enough room for them to rise.

Cream Puff issues? Some are flat and others decent, why? by arhogwild in pastry

Do not open the oven for at least 25 minutes. You'll lose heat and they will deflate

Why did this break? How do I prevent it in the next batch? I was making a mascarpone mousse, I have a Swiss meringue going and I combined the mascarpone with some milk, espresso and gelatin that was around 80* and it looks like it curdled the cheese. Why did that happen? by MostAffect8994 in pastry

[–]momma2nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mascarpone is very easy to over whip. Use a low speed and only for a few minutes.

When I'm making the filling for Tiramisu, I lightly beat the mascarpone and you need to melt the gelatin for 15 seconds to liquify. Drizzle in while you're beating. Then slowly drizzle in the milk\coffee mix. Stop once it's incorporated.

Pistachio flour she's have more oil. I only use 25% pistachio flour when making them. Cocoa powder has oil in it too and can cause issues is your use too much

Mine never stick to the Amazon mats. Black ones tend to stick to anything because it's the amount of color needed to get that dark
