We didn't have a KitchenAid then , so my husband just whipped the egg whites in a stainless steel bowl ( no cream of tartar)-it took him a few minutes, though. <br /><br />I divided the batter into 3 then added vanilla bean , matcha and cocoa. Only the vanilla bean was consistently successful.The matcha had little feet while the most of the cocoa had none (I must have put too much cocoa/ stuffed too many shells in one tray). <br /><br />So, you CAN make macarons without a KitchenAid - the French/Italians have been doing it since the Renaissance , right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-61764899107621706272011-02-08T20:55:14.716-05:002011-02-08T20:55:14.716-05:00We love your blog!

My husband gave me a Kitchen Aid last year but I've been so used to my hand held one, that I continue to use it and use the kitchen aid for brioche etc. So no fancy gadgets needed for macarons!<br />Hope the back gets better.Jill Colonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03778364289275424170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-50123551034771732072011-02-07T19:55:52.940-05:002011-02-07T19:55:52.940-05:00Thanks for the update.
