Lemon Macarons
Since my first attempt to make macarons was so successful that I was excited about my second attempt. But at the same time I was afraid of my usual baking pattern where things do not turn out as well as the first time. Unfortunately my fear became real. I followed the same recipe just as carefully as I did the first time, one third of the batch kind of collapsed when baked…
For my second version I wanted to make them lemon flavored. I used this recipe (cream only) as a base and made my lemon butter cream. This cream was very good but not great. I’ll still continue to look for a better butter cream recipe for my future macarons.
Although I’m a bit frustrated, I’m sure I will try making macarons again. We just love them so much. We’ll see what happens to my third attempt! I will need some recovery time, though (lol).

これも2か月以上も前に作ったましたね~。
マカロン、初めて作ったのが自分でもたまげるほど(笑)上手にできたので、恐る恐る作ったのがこの第二弾。
ベーキングって面白いもので、初めて作る時は成功で二回目は失敗、というパターンが私、多いのです。
初めての時はレシピに忠実に作っていて、二回目になると集中力が落ちるからかも、というのが自己分析なので、今回はものすご~く慎重に作ったつもりなのに、
やっぱり一度目に比べると、ちょっと失敗。。。
なんとか形になったのは、3分の2ぐらい。。。
でもでも、今回はクリームもちょっと本格的に、レモン風味のバタークリームをきちんと作りました。
思った通りレモン好きのテリーに大好評。
コレ、本当は親戚の集まりに持って行くつもりだったのに、テリーも私も自分たち用に取っておくことにしてしまいました。
マカロン、やっぱり好き~!
第三弾の成功率は?(というのも、普通は二度目にしっぱいすると大抵もう作る意欲がわかなくなるので(苦笑))なのですが、マカロンはまた挑戦したいなあ。

These look great! At work we went to all the pastry shops in town and brought in all the macarons and brought some in from bakeries around the country. My co-worker and lover of all things French, worked through many versions to create the perfect macaron recipe. We spelled it the other way however. Ours was flavored differently and has a chocolate ganache filling but you can use the cookie as the base. I’ll email it to you.
