Today I made my first ever batch of macaroons. They are delicious but do not have the glossy top I was hoping for. I did the recommended tapping of tray and leaving to dry out before baking. All the recipes on line seem to have slightly different proportions of ingredients, has anyone a foolproof one? I was wanting to give these as a gift, but instead I shall have to eat them myself, what a shame!

Can't help you with your problem Shysal, but happily eat them with you, to coin a phrace 'they're my favourites'!

I found an on-line tutorial yesterday and made a successful batch for my neighbour, a vet who has had to end the life of her elderly cat who has been terminally ill for some months. I discovered that I hadn't beaten the egg whites for at least 10 minutes, nor mixed the other ingredients in for long enough for the glossy finish. I made half the recipe, so only tasted a couple, but confident for future efforts.
