French Macaroons
These are very tasty.

They are really impressive but a little care is needed when making them.

You can fill them with any filling you fancy. I used vanilla buttercream, chocolate buttercream & peanut buttercream.

You can also. Colour them different colours & you can add flavouring to them but these ones are just plain.

Wow, I love the colours. I always struggle to colour mine without making the batter too runny, any tip?

Hi Cat, I use paste colours & not liquid. This seams to work for me.

Thanks, any particular brand you'd recommend?

I use Wilton but guess that any brand would do the same job.
