Hi Dears,
Today, I brought You little, sweet sandvich-looking darlings, that you can find in all of the traditional confectioneries in Hungary.
When I was a trainee in one of them, for almost half a year, I filled thousands of these with jam. The fun part (which I think is the fun part) is to create the shells with the decorating bag, was always the professional's job, as that was the part where the neros could go wrong. Each and every neros should be the same size to look beautiful in a plate.
The other big challenge while baking it, is actually the baking time. One second you see them unbaked, in the next second they are burned.
If you ask any confectioners which product burns the most, they would answer the neros.
However, the customers love them, and so do we.
Why? After you fill them with jam, give them 2-3 hours (in the confectioneries they even give them 2-3 days to let them soften) and you will have the softest, and the tastiest little sweet sandwiches of the World.
I don't really know why we have the 'Macaron craziness' everywhere, when we have a much more delicious sweet, yes if you like the colors, you can color this sponge, too. And yes you can use any kind of filling for this sweet, too, like ganache, cream, etc..
So, Neros I am cheering for You, to win over Macarons!!!
