I’ve been folding for what feels like forever and it’s still super thick. the dry ingredients were double sifted. i can’t figure out what i’m doing wrong here. any way to fix this without completely remaking it?

    Unless you post the weights of each ingredient then we can’t really help. /:

    You definitely need a good kitchen scale
    This is not the correct ratio. Egg white weights vary greatly and that can be within the same dozen
    Also make sure to separate carefully
    Sift all dry ingredients
    There are so many variables we can’t tell without knowing the recipe etc

    Def ratio was off. This happened to me the other night and I instantly knew after a few turns and just threw it all out, no point in wasting more time or arm strength on it 😆

    This is not something you can eyeball, friend

    Looks like you under over mixed it. Ngl, I don’t weigh the egg whites and always get consistent results. But I recommend once you find something that works, stick to it.

    I don’t think there’s a way to save macaron batter, it’s just so dependent on ratios. Start over. Follow a recipe you know.
