Macarons are one of the trickiest one to make in baking, but it isn't when you know how to make it properly! I said this tons of times do not over mix!!! if you get a perfect 8 with your batter stop there. also one thing you must do is tapping the tray it will get the air bubbles out.
I am really in to macarons these days so I guess that's why I am posting lots of macarons... It's best for you not to change amounts and just follow the recipe. You can double it, but else I recommend not to.
