Macaron, my daughter love it! that drove me to learn how to make it. there are many many recipes on the internet, cookbooks out there. italian meringue or not? i would say if make a small quantity recipe like 4 egg white, it is simple not worth or not necessary at all.  after trying out different recipe, i have came down my own.

simple ingredients :

125 gr Ground Almond ---------    }
225 gr Icing sugar -----------------   }      T.P.T.



4 Eggs white  (120 gr)
50 gr Sugar

Lately i am interesting to make waffle for snack time, i got a recipe from Christine's cooking page for a yummy hong kong's style waffle (hk : checker cake). and i have also tried a recipe from a french pastry web-site. they both come out great. the hong kong's style one have more character while the french is more airy.

hong kong's style :

2 eggs
20 gr sugar
50 gr butter (melted)
125 ml concentrated milk
120gr flour
4 gr baking powder
vanilla
water or milk (as needed)


french recipe :

3 eggs
150 gr sugar
150 ml milk
125 gr butter (melted)
250 gr flour
1 bag of baking powder (10-11 gr)


beat the eggs a bit
mix the wet ingredients
co-operate the dry ingredients
rest the mix for 5-10 minutes before make the waffle in the waffle maker,
serve with icing sugar or maple syrup like my angel will do
