Pink Macaron

I did the Chocolate Macaron before. This time I tried doing normal Macaron. But I do want to have white Macaron so I add red coloring to get Pink Macaron. I filled them up with chocolate. Love the color combination so much!! Brown and Pink is pretty!!

For Pink Macaron, I use different recipes. It is measured by cups.

How to
1. Make sure that all equipment has no trace of oil
2. Beat egg whites until foamy (about 2 minutes with hand electrical mixer)
