Weekly baking - (deflated) grapefruit macarons

This week's baking - failed and deflated grapefruit macarons


Recipes: almond macaron with grapefruit zest and grapefruit buttercream
I call them deflated because I messed up the step where the egg whites should peak. Apparently, any trace of oil (including zest) makes egg whites impossible to stiffen up. Flavors were all there despite the cookies being chewy. Good lesson learned!
