Macaroons, nearly

This nice Friday morning in France I decided to challenge myself and attempt to make macaroons. I followed this recipe, and here are the pictures:

Ground almonds and icing sugar into the blender

Separate the egg whites and yolks

Whisking the egg whites

After adding the sugar

Sifting in the ground almonds and icing sugar

Piping onto a baking sheet

Into the oven

And they're cooked

Making the chocolate ganache

And the finished macaroons

Unfortunately, the macaroons were somewhat hollow :( but they still taste good :)

I'm intending to try again while we're still house-sitting and so we'll see how they go!
