No Coloring Added Basic Nutella Macaron 马卡戎

No Coloring Added Basic Nutella Macaron

I have got to admit that making macaron is not one of my forte. I have tried 2 times before my first taste of success (and that was because I went for a macaron class ^^). My first two trials was using the French meringue method. I was trying to play smart by not aging my eggs but it didn't work out. Perhaps it will work out in drier climate but with the humidity in Singapore, I seriously doubt so. Then, I learnt the Italian meringue method from the class. After my first successful macaron, I still felt unsettled and my curiosity drew me back to try the French meringue method again. This time, I aged my eggs, and here they are! 

This is a really basic and simple macaron. I even saved my time from making the ganache by using nutella spread because I wanted all my focus to be on the macaron shell. I omitted all the artificial colorings and flavorings because those are simply not necessary.

Now, I make macaron every now and then when I have extra egg whites, which is actually more frequent that I have thought of. For instant, when I make Shanghai Mooncake, perkedel, or egg tart. 

I almost gave up on it but I am glad I didn't. Now I am having another batch of 2 egg whites aging inside the fridge. I think I am going to use some dark chocolate ganache for that!
