Any guesses? I tried making Italian macs and I think I under macaronage-d them. How long should it take for a ribbon of the batter to settle back into itself?

    Maybe not resting long enough before cooking? Never seen them make mushroom clouds before.

    I think you definitely under-macaronaged. That’s happened to me – although it was more like the top part exploding.

    I might be 1 in 100 but I don’t fold my macaron batter until it’s a ribbon I fold it until it gets thick. For some reason it works perfectly every time. It pipes out thick but slowly settles, no peaks and super smooth snd full shells

    Looks like too much residual air in the shells. Gotta macronage harder and get the air out

    Did they rest? Looks like the top “skin” may not have formed, so the top popped instead of developing feet.
