Rakshana
Hi! I tried your recipe and it came out really well. However my oven is small so some batter was remaining and I didn't know if I could leave the batter till the first batch finishes baking so I ended up dumping it. There was not much, I would have gotten 5 macroons at the most. I want to know if it is okay to let the batter sit for the time one batch bakes. If so how long can the batter sit?
Aarthi
I am not sure whether you can leave the batter for too long. it can stay good for probably an hour
Naomi
Can I use powdered brown sugar instead?
Riaz
At what temperature we need to bake for 1.5 hours. Can you please tell the mode of baking in OTG (top or bottom or both heating, with or without fan) like that.
Divya
Both rods with fan @100 degrees. Bake for 1 hour 30 mins and leave them in the oven for 3 hours till they completely cool
Shyma Sherin
I use Borosil OTG Oven. Can you please let me know at what temperature, mode (both the heaters / only upper one / only lower one, with or without circulating fan), and the duration of baking. Tried them many times but I get the macaroons a bit flatter and 'chewy' when done. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
