So, today I tried to make some Scottish macaroon bars for St Andrew's day tomorrow but it has turned out to be my first failed effort at baking. I found the recipe online, followed it exactly (although it was pretty vague) and instead of a stiff fondant creation I got a sticky and unworkable blob. It's in the fridge just now, as part of a desperate attempt to get it to harden to a point where it can be salvaged, but I'm not hopefull. I wasted most of a 1kg bag of icing sugar so I'm reluctant to throw it out, but I don't see what more I can do. It tastes pretty sickly anyway. Oh well, I'll see what it ends up like but I'm not going to take it into work, as planned - I would be ashamed!
Here's where to find the recipe if you want to try it and tell me where I went wrong:
