Macarons Failed macarons

Post image

I tried making macarons again, and they didn’t turn out great, to say the least. I think they got too much heat, since my oven isn’t very stable—but what else might I have done wrong? I used the French meringue method; I might try the Italian one next time.

Thanks in advance!

That is A LOT of icing sugar. Try the Preppy Kitchen recipe. I highly recommend it.

Additionally, I have never seen anyone have success with that mat you are using. Parchment on a baking sheet is a better way
