Macarons Class at Sur la Table

When I have more time, I'll update this post with tips from my Basics of French Macarons class that I took at Sur La Table this past weekend.  The class was so fun; plus, taught good technique.  I was surprised that a silicon macarons mat isn't necessary.  Just need a piping bag!

Did you know that macarons at the very
basic consist of just egg whites, powdered sugar,
almond flour and cream of tartar?

This is how the egg white mixture should look - stiff,
firm, glossy peaks!

before baking.

Out of the oven!

My very 1st macaron that I've made myself:
