Have a macaron-making party at your place. <br />Invite me, I'll come! :-)<br /><br />P.S I use the French meringue technique. I don't age my egg whites. I use regular granulated sugar (C&H) for the French meringue. I use regular confectioner's sugar (C&H). <br />There's nothing really mythical about it; it's about the strength of the meringue, the macaronage and for me, most importantly, oven temp!<br /><br />Cheers-JenJencrafted Journeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-23197851339654448602011-09-08T20:17:59.506-04:002011-09-08T20:17:59.506-04:00Yes Marie:

Or, you can put a dab of butter in a pan, and get it hot, then drop the split through the middle muffins on top until they get hot, dry, and a bit crisp. <br /><br />Elana's Pantry is a blog that uses a lot of almond flour. She is celiac as well as her sons, so she uses almond flour. Has written several books on the subject. <br /><br />You are a hoot. But keep trying. Yes, you must be exact when you bake. It's not like cooking. <br /><br />MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-23582723044495181332011-09-08T14:48:29.687-04:002011-09-08T14:48:29.687-04:00Ha!

The almond flour sounds great for chocolate chip cookies. I used to (if I had a food processor, I'd still do it), grind up walnuts to put in chocolate chip cookies, as some of my children would complain about them & I thought the cookies were too sweet w/o nuts.stjulienlepauvrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-78180882908256371632011-09-08T09:40:10.523-04:002011-09-08T09:40:10.523-04:00Carol, A good way to rescue baked muffins that ar...Carol, A good way to rescue baked muffins that are not sweet enough--heat in toaster oven, then split open & apply jam.

I agree, cutting the sugar in half doesn't work. The best recipe I have for any muffins is RITZ-CARLTON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS. They're easy to find on-line. Be sure to put the sugar on top before baking (don't skip that step) as it takes them from good to outsanding.stjulienlepauvrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-30460105644355832552011-09-08T07:50:58.221-04:002011-09-08T07:50:58.221-04:00cosmetic purposes- that's it!

Too much rain to get off the bus and check it out. Perhaps the sun will return soon, and let the US Open actually continue at a schedule that won't damage the players.
