Making macarons

Mac 4

This was my first attempt at making macarons. I’ve never tried them because I thought they were hard. One day I was watching some cooking videos on Youtube and came across one that demonstrated how to cook them. I decided to watch it to find out exactly what is involved. I was very surprised to find there weren’t many ingredients. It’s really just a matter of making a meringue and adding almond meal. I filled mine with delicious lemon curd. I was aiming for a blue and yellow colour scheme.
