How much longer / at what temperature would you bake these on a silicone mat?

In reply to Helen. It's worth checking your oven temperature first with an over thermometer to see how it actually is as this may be causing the problem! x

How do I need to adjust my oven temperature/ cooking time? Baked for 23 minutes at 130 c- as they didn’t lift easily at 20 minutes. No cracks on the top. Feet seem a little gooey and separate from the top

Can you make these in a non-fan oven? If so, what temp/time adjustment? Many thanks!!

Can you use Almond flour instead of ground almonds? If so, do you use the same amount?

In reply to Rachel. Hiya! Yes it sounds like they were over baked! Hope this helps! x

Hi I’ve made your macarons from the book but they have come out very hard to bite in to. Did I over bake them?

They look great but taste awful!

Hey I was just wondering how much food colouring you put in. I have the progel but I find when making macarons they often go a very light colour. The colour doesn’t pop. Maybe I’m not adding enough?

In reply to Laura.

Hiya! There are lots of strong flavours out there that will be great – such as Nielsen Massey or Foodie Flavours! Or for chocolate – take a look at my triple chocolate macaron recipe! Hope this helps, enjoyyyy x

In reply to Laura. Hiya! Sadly not - they are a very integral part of the recipe! Hope this helps! x

Hi Jane, I am looking to make these with my 7yr old daughter next week ( she’s a huge fan of yours too). How would I add flavourings to the macaron mixture please? For example, how would I add a coffee flavour to them, or a chocolate flavour? Are there special flavourings I should use?
Sorry, I am a complete novice when it comes to macarons. I’ve never made them before

Many thanks, Laura

Is there any way of making macarons without using any ground Nuts? Me and my family are allergic and have always wanted to try Macarons.
