Notes
Here are a few tips to ensure success:

Room temperature ingredients: This helps with a smoother texture and better mixing.
Consistency is key: The batter should flow like lava; not too runny or too thick.
Use a kitchen scale: For precise measurements of ingredients.
Practice makes perfect: Macarons might be tricky, but they get better with practice!
