my new found addiction—macarons

January 1, 2011

I have absolutely no idea when or why I suddenly had this thing for macarons.  But ever since then, they are all I can think about.

With this new obsession,  I tried and tried and kept on trying to make them.  And for some reason, I can’t make them well… consistently.

So my New Year’s Resolution 2011: master the macaron!

And it just wouldn’t be me to do the traditional first, using almond flour.  I love hazelnuts, so that’s what I used, instead!

 

A little bit of egg whites, a little bit of sugar, a little bit of hazelnuts, a little bit of chocolate… and voila!
