The second time I tried them, a few months ago, the batter was weirdly runny. I hope to try them in the next few weeks, when time permits. Will email you when I do! Best, Shaheen Hi Imelda,

Thank you so much for the comment! The second time I tried them, a few months ago, the batter was weirdly runny. I hope to try them in the next few weeks, when time permits. Will email you when I do!

The reason i found your blog is that i just attempted macarons for my second time in two weeks and i'm so discouraged that i came on to try to find out why they didn't turn out again. You described my experienced to the tee! I let my eggs sit out for a couple days so maybe that's one reason and as soon as i pipe it on the parchment paper i know they will not turn out since the dough is runny and spreads even with my attempt at not over-folding. I tried two slightly different recipes with even differences in temp. settings and it didn't make a diffeence but the flavor is still good. i would like to know if you gave these a shot again?!!!

Good thing you were on autopilot mode. ;)<br /><br />Tracy: I'm glad we at least made the attempt!<br /><br />Bethany: Oh AWESEOME news! Don't be nervous - the group is made of some amazing, amazing people!<br /><br />Anon: I always live in fear of over whipping! oh well, next time!<br /><br />Angie: Thank you for the wonderful compliment. All the best with your attempt.<br /><br />Mimi: I will look up that method. Thanks.<br /><br />Helen: I certainly didn't do that. Will keep in mind for next time. But won't that make the macaron spread on the sheet more than it's supposed to?
