SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI 1432H

Hope it's not too late to wish  `Selamat Hari Raya' to all bloggers who took a stroll  at my humble blog. This year we celebrated `Aidil Fitri' in Trengganu - mom-in-law's house. It was a quiet `Raya' since  my sister in laws (5 of them) headed to their own venues for `raya' celebration this year.

 It has been quite sometime i took a break from blogging.  I was busy educating myself on how to make `macarons' or also known as `french macaron' via the `net' - youtube n other reading materials. As usual, my children are the catalyst behind this tedious and head wrenching project.

 For info, `macaron'  and `macaroon' are totally two different confectionery. Macaron is a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring whilst Macaroon is a type of light, baked confection, described as either small cakes or meringue-like cookies depending on their consistency. (i googled this info out)

Macarons in a variety of colours.

Though the ingredients for macaron making is easy to obtain but the technique proof to be the gist of it. I bought 1 kilo of almond ground  and tried a few batches with different recipes and managed to finalize  one  that came out almost perfect with feet and a few other criteria s. The first flavour i did successfully was chocolate macaron with `nutella' as its filling.

Below i proudly present  my fruit of success after many many disastrous baking.
