Last Summer, I was lucky enough to visit Ladurée Patisserie on the Champs Elysees, Paris. Me and my friends could barely afford to eat at the time, but we all managed to scrape together enough for a box of their legendary macaroons.
That afternoon, we missed our flight home to Scotland and so ended up in a 15€ hostel for the night, where I tried my first 'real' Macaroon - immediately falling in love.
This morning at 2am I was struggling to settle, so I decided to try and make the little treats how they were intended to be made. I made a small batch because I know my entire family are health freaks.. but Milly at Pearls and Poodles has an excellent recipe for a full batch. See my progress below!
They came out exceedingly delicate, chewy in the center, lightly crispy on the outside, a soft sheen.. I was really very happy with them! They are a bit of an art form though, a minute too long in the oven would ruin the whole batch!
