Take #1 - French Macarons, the Italian way

(1) No problem with aged egg whites ~ 24 hours ~ in the fridge covered with a paper kitchen towel

(2) No problem with the sugar syrup - my new candy thermometer worked pretty well!

(step IM)

(3) No problem with weighing out the ground almond and the icing sugar ~ took the time of shifting (rather pushing the mixture through the sieve with back of large metal spoon ~ 20 mins! 

(step TPT)

**Readers, do remember that I made french macarons the french way six times before so do forgive if I said that I totally forgot to mix the other half of the egg whites with the almond and icing sugar ~ which of course I only realised when cleaning up ie after I had successfully whipped up the aged whites with the sugar syrup and it was a good result; and added the almond and icing sugar... and piped out the batter and already in the oven!

I must say that I had improved on my piping! see the C curls?

Anyways.... if you wonder whats the result if one had forgotten the rest of the whites in the TPT....?

Here you Go! hahahaha!
