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)

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.
"bon-a-petit"
