Hit 50 failed macarons before I got a single decent batch

I kept trying the same recipe from a blog for weeks, and every time they cracked or had no feet. My friend told me to weigh the almond flour instead of using cups, and I finally did it yesterday. After 51 tries, I got a smooth top and those little ruffled feet. Has anyone else found that one small change fixed a total baking disaster?

Wow, that's why baking is a science!

Fifty one tries is some serious dedication. I would have given up after like, batch ten. The fact that just weighing one thing made that big a difference is wild.

Yeah, it's the weighing of all the dry stuff that really locks it in. Right, @tarar38?
